Globe Coop CAREavan Brings Education and Livelihood Opportunities to Dingalan Students
Globe Coop, the employee cooperative of Globe Telecom, continues to turn challenges into opportunities through its Globe Coop CAREavan, which recently brought education and livelihood support to students and families at Dingalan Community College (DCC). This first stop marks the start of an employee-led outreach effort with Globe’s regional teams, delivering tailored initiatives across the country to create sustainable, localized impact for vulnerable groups including special children, teen mothers, fisherfolk, out-of-school youth, students, and indigenous communities like the Mangyan and the Aeta communities.

In response to financial challenges that previously led to student dropouts, Globe Coop rolled out the Bag-to-School program designed to give students the tools to succeed and families the means to support them. Seventeen deserving students were selected to receive support packages that combine essential school supplies with practical income-generating resources for their households.

Students received Educational Support Packages containing notebooks, pad paper, pens, and pencils, helping them focus fully on learning. Families were also empowered with Globe Retailer Packages, including a basic mobile phone, retailer SIM, merchandising materials, and an initial autoload of up to ₱1,000, giving them the opportunity to start micro-retailing businesses that create sustainable income.

The initiative also featured a Digital Thumbprint Program (DTP) workshop, designed to equip students with essential digital skills and strengthen their understanding of responsible online behavior. Through the program, students learned to think critically, navigate the digital world safely, and practice empowered digital citizenship, key tools for thriving in today’s connected society.
Globe Coop is about creating positive, lasting change,” said Jonalyn Aguilar, Globe Coop Board of Director. “By supporting students’ education and providing families with the tools and opportunities to grow, we’re not just helping individual students succeed, we’re helping entire communities unlock their full potential and build a brighter, more sustainable future for everyone.”
Through the Globe Coop CAREavan, it demonstrates how meaningful interventions, combining education, livelihood, and digital empowerment, can inspire hope, build resilience, and open doors for a brighter future. Together with DCC, Globe Coop is empowering students, uplifting families, and lighting the way for stronger, more connected communities.
