Compassion in Action
M Lhuillier's unwavering commitment to the wellbeing of communities across the Philippines is truly inspiring. Through a diverse array of impactful initiatives, the company has demonstrated its dedication to uplifting the lives of those in need.
One shining example is Project Lambat, which empowered fisherfolk communities in the remote islands of Apuao and Caringo, Mercedes, Camarines Norte. M Lhuillier's OPEC Maogma-Camacat Region team provided crucial fishing materials, including nets, traps, baskets, and twine, to local fishermen. This not only enhanced their fishing capabilities but also boosted their income, supporting the financial security of their families.
Recognizing the importance of equipping marginalized communities with sustainable livelihoods, M Lhuillier, through its subsidiary OPEC Capital, organized a training program in Barangay 159 of the NCR Central Region. In collaboration with ML SAKO and Team D'Salas, participants learned to make homemade siomai and embotido, empowering them to start their own small food-based businesses.
M Lhuillier's transformative outreach extends to individuals as well. The inspiring story of Kenneth, a resilient survivor who faced a devastating challenge after a vehicular accident, exemplifies the company's life-changing impact. The M Lhuillier-OPEC Kalayaan team provided Kenneth with a brand-new electric bike, a cooler, food containers, and essential goods, enabling him to establish his own small business and generate additional income for his family.
The company's commitment to community wellbeing is also evident in its support for animal welfare. In partnership with the Animal Kingdom Foundation (AKF), M Lhuillier has funded the construction of a new cattery and installed signage at the AKF rescue center in Capas, Tarlac, directly benefiting the rescued dogs under their care.
These initiatives are just a glimpse into the breadth of M Lhuillier's community-focused efforts. From empowering fisherfolk and aspiring entrepreneurs to uplifting individuals and championing animal welfare, the company's transformative impact reflects its unwavering dedication to building a more equitable and compassionate society.
M Lhuillier's unwavering commitment to serving the greater good serves as an inspiring example of how businesses can be a force for positive change in the world.
