Amway Global Donates USD $55,000 to the Philippine Red Cross to Support Ongoing Humanitarian Efforts

The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) received a generous donation worth USD $55,000 from Amway Global in a turnover ceremony held on November 26, 2025, at the PRC National Headquarters in Mandaluyong City.

Representing the Amway Philippines delegation were Leni Olmedo, Country Manager of Amway Philippines; Owen Rea, corporate affairs executive; Karen Ganado, writer; and Jessie Del Rosario, social media specialist.

PRC Secretary General Dr. Gwendolyn Pang welcomed the delegation and discussed with them the organization’s current and forthcoming operations. Both PRC and Amway highlighted their shared commitment to promoting health, safety, and overall well-being, noting their similar involvement in blood donation activities, feeding initiatives, and various humanitarian responses for communities affected by both natural and human-induced disasters.

During the meeting, Pang emphasized the strengthened partnership between Amway and PRC, saying,

“We appreciate our long-term relationship with Amway, not just for disaster response but for other works, as we are aligned in the promotion of holistic health and helping people restore their dignity from situations that almost had them losing hope for their future.”

Amway Philippines Country Manager Leni Olmedo expressed the company’s intention to ensure meaningful and widespread impact through their collaboration with PRC. She shared,

“Amway Philippines operates nationwide, and we have distributors and consumers in affected areas as well. What we want is to reach them through the Philippine Red Cross in a meaningful way. We have nutritional and hygiene products that are desperately needed in times of crisis. Through PRC’s activities on the ground, we are sure that wherever our consumers or distributors are, the Philippine Red Cross will be there. The impact will definitely be widespread.”

Amway has been a long-standing and trusted partner of the Philippine Red Cross for nearly two decades, as they see PRC as efficient, well-organized, and among the first to be on the ground within the first few seconds of a disaster. Because of this, every contribution entrusted to the organization is regarded as being transparently delivered to the communities that need it most, fully aligned with their purpose: to help people live better lives.

PRC Chairman and CEO Richard Gordon expressed his appreciation for Amway’s consistent support,

“Amway has been helping us ever since, even during major disasters that brought great horror to many Filipinos. They stood with us and have been significantly contributing to our meaningful work. It is because of partners like them that the Philippine Red Cross can further stretch its assistance across the country.”

The Philippine Red Cross extends its heartfelt gratitude to Amway Global and Amway Philippines for their continued commitment to humanitarian service, reinforcing shared efforts to uplift and protect vulnerable communities nationwide.
