E*Trade, a financial services company, launched its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partnership with Hands on Manila through an environmental project.

They decided to support the continuous rehabilitation of Estero de Santibañez in Paco, Manila. This site was also one of SERVATHON 2019’s beneficiary.

A total of 2,180 Mabuhay Balls was produced together with the help of the community members and our partner, Masiglang Masayang Kapitbahayanan (MMK). Even the kids from the community were engaged in the volunteer project.

From the target of 500 volunteer hours, a total of 820 hours was rendered.
