Anchored on its advocacies around financial education and inclusion, health and safety protection and climate adaptation, the company intensified its efforts through two community investment programs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently recognized at the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, Pru Life UK and Prudence Foundation\u2019s Project PADAYON Bantayan Island and Cha-Ching Financial Literacy for Youth program are a testament to the company\u2019s strong focus on sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The programs underscore Pru Life UK\u2019s commitment to building long-term\nresilience for its customers and communities as part of its collective\nresponsibility to create a better future for Filipinos and future generations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In partnership with Prudence Foundation, the community investment arm in\nAsia and Africa of Prudential plc, Pru Life UK\u2019s parent company, and the Asia\nSociety for Social Improvement and Sustainable Transformation (ASSIST), Pru\nLife UK identified health, employment, and disaster preparedness as fundamental\npillars for community well-being. This framework guided the creation of Project\nPADAYON Bantayan Island, a series of community-based training and development\nprograms for Bantayan Island, Cebu residents. It is the latest in Pru Life UK\u2019s\ndecade-long support for the island, beginning with the recovery efforts in the\naftermath of Typhoon Yolanda in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Central to these sessions were discussions surrounding micro, small, and\nmedium enterprises (MSME) empowerment, family nutrition, women\u2019s health,\ndisaster risk reduction and management, and climate resiliency, all in an\neffort to help residents thrive in the \u201cnew normal\u201d. The program has directly engaged\n1,900 participants, fostering growth and development opportunities within the\ncommunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, championing Pru Life UK\u2019s education pillar is the Cha-Ching\nFinancial Literacy for Youth program, a flagship initiative created and\ndeveloped by Prudence Foundation. The award-winning financial literacy program instills\nsound financial habits and promotes financial responsibility in children by\nteaching its four money management concepts: earn, save, spend, and donate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an event in 2023 entitled \u201cOne Student to a Million: Cha-Ching Shaping a Financially Literate Generation\u201d, Prudence Foundation, in partnership with JA Philippines, set an ambitious goal to reach 1,000,000 students and 28,000 teachers through the Cha-Ching Program nationwide. This reinforces Pru Life UK&#8217;s commitment to becoming a trailblazer in financial literacy education for the youth. At the recent Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, Project PADAYON Bantayan Island was honored with a Bronze award in the Corporate Social Responsibility category, while Cha-Ching Financial Literacy for Youth Program was given a Silver award. The Asia-Pacific Stevie\u00ae Awards stand as a beacon of recognition within the international business community, encompassing organizations across 29 markets in the Asia-Pacific region. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently recognized at the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, Pru Life UK and Prudence Foundation\u2019s Project PADAYON Bantayan Island and Cha-Ching Financial Literacy for Youth program are a testament to the company\u2019s strong focus on sustainability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9207,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[2275,2086],"class_list":["post-9206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsmakers","tag-insurance-industry","tag-pru-life-uk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9206"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9206\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9208,"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9206\/revisions\/9208"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zestmag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
