Lenovo Philippines has teamed up with One Meralco Foundation (OMF), pledging laptop donations to support the latter’s School Electrification Program.
The program aims to provide electricity to 10 schools across the Philippines in 2023, with three schools each in Sarangani and Sultan Kudarat already enjoying the benefits of electrification.
Plans are also underway to electrify two schools in South Cotabato and two more in Southern Palawan.
“Our company has always been driven to provide smarter technology for all. However, we understand that without power, the potential of technology remains untapped,” Michael Ngan, President and General Manager of Lenovo Philippines, said. “By providing laptops to electrified schools, we light the way for students and educators to access a world of knowledge.”
This is not the first collaboration between Lenovo Philippines and the One Meralco Foundation. The partnership began last year when Lenovo, inspired by the School Electrification Program’s mission, reached out to OMF.
According to Ngan, the initiative resonated with their global mission of empowering underrepresented populations with access to technology and STEM education. As a result, teachers from schools in Iloilo received additional laptops from the Lenovo.
