With the typhoon season about to come again, the need for disaster preparedness cannot be overemphasized especially in areas that have been ravaged by natural calamities and disasters in the past. In a bid to provide residents in less fortunate communities with disaster-ready tools, SM Store and Watsons partnered with the Department of Health, the Department of Social Welfare and Development and the SM Foundation for the Gamot Para sa Kapwa campaign.
The Sureaid Disaster Kit from Watsons will help the less fortunate communities during calamities. Each kit includes Sureaid Emergency blanket, 300-ml bottled water, flashlight, whistle and masks.
SM invites its shoppers to take part in this noteworthy campaign that aims to provide quality health and emergency assistance to indigent communities in the country. This project is especially meaningful considering that many parts of the country are susceptible to typhoons and earthquake risk, which is why quick aid is essential during emergency situations such as accidents and natural disasters.
Shoppers can do their share by visiting Gamot Para sa Kapwa booths at all SM Stores until September 30, 2015. They can purchase a Sureaid Disaster Kit worth P99 for donation or for personal use. That may also opt to buy two kits exclusively distributed by Watsons for only P190. Each kit contains items needed for quick survival during calamities like a Sureaid Emergency blanket, 300-ml bottled water, flashlight, whistle and masks.
Gamot Para sa Kapwa booths are found at all SM Stores where shoppers can purchase and donate a Sureaid Disaster Kit worth P99 or P190 for two, exclusively distributed by Watsons. Proceeds will go to DOH-accredited beneficiaries.
All donors are also entitled to a P50 coupon to be redeemed with a minimum single receipt purchase of any Watsons brand worth P350, and valid until September 30, 2016. Proceeds will go to DOH-accredited beneficiaries nationwide.
Let’s all do our share. Help build disaster ready communities and join SM’s Gamot Para sa Kapwa campaign.
