FUELING HOPE, ONE MEAL AT A TIME
SOLANE and Rise Against Hunger Philippines team up to bring warm, nutritious meals to communities in need.
SOLANE, the country’s leading LPG brand, is proud to
announce its recent partnership with Rise Against Hunger Philippines (RAHP).
This collaboration is part of the company’s CSR initiatives, where they aim to
provide nutritious lunch meals to underserved communities across the country.
 |
| FIGHT AGAINST HUNGER. Through this partnership, SOLANE provided 500 nutritious lunch meals to individuals in need within the Barangays 101,105,106,128 & 129 Zone 8 District 1 in Tondo, Manila, demonstrating their commitment to alleviating hunger. |
“Solane has been very active in CSR activities since the start of our operations in the communities where we operate. From feeding programs that cater to our less fortunate brethren to imparting our expertise by providing safety trainings on the handling of LPG to the grassroot levels" said Dennis Palomar, Public Affairs Officer, Isla Group Corporation.
 |
| ALL FOR ONE. Solane, Rise Against Hunger Philippines, ERDA Foundation, Inc. and the local government of Barangay 106 in Tondo Manila collaborated to orient residents in the proper and safe use of LPG gas. |
With regards to their partnership with RAHP, Solane has
been a staunch supporter since the first quarter of 2024. The company has also
donated free Solane LPG refill vouchers, and last November 15, Solane sponsored
a mobile kitchen project that served as an extension of RAHP's food banking
program.
“Barangay
106 is located in Tondo, Manila, a very crowded community where fire incidents
occur frequently, largely due to houses built with light materials. These
factors make the community highly vulnerable to fire disasters. Through
Solane’s CSR initiatives, residents participated in a learning session on the
proper and safe use of LPG in their homes. This education equips them with the
knowledge to prevent fire incidents caused by unsafe LPG usage, ultimately
fostering a safer and more responsible community” said Arlene Castro, RAHP
representative.
FOR THEIR PEACE OF MIND. A total of 250 parents attended
Solane’s orientation on the safety of LPG.
Solane has been actively promoting the safety use of LPG,
particularly by partnering with Local Government Units (LGU), because the
company believes that beyond their quality products, there has to be a peace of
mind to all their customers who are patronizing Solane LPG. And this is what it
sets them apart from other brands in the industry.
“All of our CSR efforts are done hand in hand with LGUs.
Local collaboration is key in coming up with relevant programs that is valued
by the community similar to our Bgy 106 project also in collaboration with Rise
Against Hunger” said Palomar. In the past, people approached LPG safety with
indifference thinking all brands are the same. Thru the collective efforts of
Solane, the communities, government agencies like BFP and DOE people now have
increased awareness on LPG safety thru our product knowledge seminars in the
barangays. It is a continuing education effort and has made Solane synonymous
with safety, reliability and peace of mind”, added Palomar.
Aside from RAHP, the company’s recent CSR event in Tondo also included beneficiaries selected by Educational Research and Development Assistance (ERDA), Foundation, Inc.
EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES
Solane will continue with their CSR
efforts as they reach out to communities that will benefit from their
orientation in learning the safe use of LPG.
“We are very fortunate that over 250 parents attended this
worthwhile event where it teaches the members of our community on how to
properly manage and use LPG gas to avoid accidents to happen” said Dolor
Cardeno, Executive Director, ERDA Foundation, Inc. “Marami ang nakinabang sa
ating event ngayon dahi lsa orientation na ibinigay ng Solane para sa
utilization at taman gpaggamit ng LPG para sa kaligtasan ng bawat pamilya na
gumagamit nito. Malaking bagay ito dahil ang mga magulang na kasama natin ngayon
ay sila ang nagluluto ng pagkain. Ang mga bigay ninyongorientation ay
magbibigay sa kanila ng sapat na kaalaman sa tamang paggamit ng LPG upang
maiwasan ang mga aksidente tulad ng sunog”, added Cardeno
Safety, reliability and peace of mind are in our DNA and
part of everything we do. We are strong advocates of safety and as such our
CSRs are crafted around these principles. We do have regular CSR programs with
partner communities/organizations to ensure sustainability and relevant social
impact.
This partnership between SOLANE and Rise Against Hunger
Philippines underscores the power of corporate social responsibility and the
collective effort to address hunger and malnutrition in the country.
