Going to school is a serious matter and students should be equipped with everything they need. In many countries, however, children from poor families cannot afford to buy even the essential stationery for learning in class and doing their homework. Since 2012, Menarini Philippines has chosen to stand beside them, with the Bag to School project.

Notebooks, crayons, pencils, erasers, sharpeners. Funds raised through this initiative go towards the purchase of basic school supplies for hundreds of young students in the Philippines. 700 pupils from 10 different schools have received one of our backpacks, each equipped with all they need to do exercises, study, and learn. A requirement that we are responding to in order to improve access and the quality of education for less fortunate schoolchildren by giving them a new smile and a backpack full of hope.
