As a youth-run organization that empowers the youth to be of service to society, challenging times like this notorious COVID-19 pandemic cannot put youth leadership to a halt. We believe that leadership can be developed in anyone, even through small acts of caring. 

The Association Internationale des Etudiants En Sciences Economiques et Commerciales (French for International Association of Students in Economics and Management or AISEC) members decided to use our platform to help frontliners and vulnerable sectors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Embodying one of the Sustainable Development Goals, SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), AIESEC in UP Manila spearheaded a donation drive in partnership with Tulong Kabataan-UPM last April 6, 2020.

The project aims to provide surgical face masks and other medical supplies to the patients, frontline health workers, and interns of PGH. The proceeds were donated to the UP-PGH Bayanihan Na! Operations Center.
