S. C. Johnson Philippines recently made a significant contribution to Habitat for Humanity Philippines. Habitat for Humanity, which is more known worldwide for its house-building endeavor is also into disaster response projects and has recently entered into partnerships with other foundations and corporate institutions in the Philippines, for the rehabilitation of areas where Filipino families have been heavily affected by the devastation brought about by typhoons/mud slides, more specifically in the areas of Quezon and the province of Aurora.

For this purpose, Philippine Johnson donated P1,000,000  for the organzation’s school re-construction program specifically for recently heavily devastated areas in the province of Quezon.
