QUEZON CITY (PIA) — IMAGINE a mother in a remote barangay receiving much-needed supplies after a devastating typhoon, or children in a residential care facility experiencing excitement through educational materials.
Now, every donation made through the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s (DSWD) new Kaagapay Donations Portal is a step closer to restoring hope and dignity to those affected by disasters and emergencies.
The Kaagapay Donations Portal is the latest online platform that promises to connect the generosity of donors directly to those in need, ensuring that every contribution makes an immediate impact.
Launched just last month, the portal is a beacon of hope for many. It facilitates donations to accredited social welfare agencies, local government units involved in humanitarian efforts, and DSWD-managed centers. The portal is accessible through https://kaagapay.dswd.gov.ph/donations.
This streamlined approach not only enhances the efficiency of relief operations but also empowers everyday Filipinos to be part of the solution during times of crisis.
It is also more than just a platform; it’s a lifeline that reinforces the spirit of bayanihan, the Filipino value of communal unity and cooperation. It stands as a testament to the resilience of Filipinos, who continuously find ways to uplift one another, especially in challenging times.
“Mas mabilis siya, sapagkat cash donation, magtransfer ka lang from your ATM account or from PayMaya or GCash, and pupunta na sa account number ng DSWD,” said DSWD Assistant Secretary Ana Maria Paz Rafael. In essence, donors can make cash contributions with just a few taps on their smartphones, sending funds directly to the intended beneficiaries without any hassle.
In a society where compassion can sometimes feel distant, the Kaagapay Donations Portal bridges the gap between intention and action. As the DSWD continues to innovate and adapt, they invite everyone to join this movement of kindness—because every peso counts, and every act of generosity can change a life.
So, whether you’re at home, at work, or on the go, remember that with just a few clicks, you can make a difference. The Kaagapay Portal is ready to transform your goodwill into tangible support for those who need it most. Together, we can build a future where hope and resilience thrive. (GLDG/PIA-NCR)
