Call to Prayer | 30 March 2020

"We are one Ateneo community, a community among communities. We are no strangers to adversity. We will not lose heart. We will not be defeated by death or injury, by fear or anxiety. This is no small fight. Remember Ignatius Loyola and Pamplona. We are made for big fights like this."

Helping our Frontliners and Communities in Need

Latest information on Ateneo de Manila University’s relief efforts in the fight against COVID-19.

Donate cash today, to help our health frontliners fight COVID-19 and to provide food, shelter, and hygiene items for communities in need.

Ateneo Disaster Response and Management (DReaM) Team has partnered with Tanging Yaman Foundation and Simbahang Lingkod ng Bayan to pool together resources and efforts to fight the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.

Our three main programs aim to:

Provide personal protective equipment (PPE) like nitrile gloves, N95 face masks, hazmat suits, and alcohol for health workers on the frontlines
Deliver packed meals for hospital personnel in crisis areas
Give packed food and hygiene items for families in need

To date, we have helped over a dozen hospitals and partner communities in Marikina, Quezon City, Rizal, and other areas in need.

We urgently need your support, mainly in terms of cash donations, as we aim to be able to provide for the needs of our partner hospitals and communities for at least one month.
