TP Philippines Strengthens Community Impact with House of Hope Partnership
TP in the Philippines, formerly known as Teleperformance and a leader in digital business services, has reinforced its dedication to inclusive growth and community impact in Mindanao. The company has officially designated the House of Hope Foundation for Kids with Cancer, Inc. as a beneficiary under its corporate social responsibility arm, the Citizen of the World (COTW) Foundation. This strategic move aims to amplify support for pediatric cancer care in the region.
House of Hope: A Pillar of Pediatric Cancer Care
Established in 2004, the House of Hope Foundation has served as a cornerstone of pediatric cancer care in Mindanao for over two decades. The foundation operates a "halfway house" that provides accommodation for families traveling long distances for medical treatment. Additionally, it offers comprehensive medical, psychosocial, and financial assistance to children battling cancer and their loved ones. Through initiatives like the "Kids of Hope" program and the Mindanao Pediatric Cancer Care Network, House of Hope has played a pivotal role in elevating the Southern Philippines Medical Center into a regional hub for pediatric oncology.
Formalizing the Partnership for Greater Impact
The collaboration was formalized through a contract signing ceremony involving key representatives from both organizations. Jeffrey Johnson, the Chief People Officer of TP in the Philippines and President of the COTW Foundation, joined forces with Arleen Aportadera, Manager of House of Hope. This partnership unites their shared mission to deliver hope, dignity, and life-saving support to children affected by cancer and their families.
Jeffrey Johnson emphasized the importance of corporate responsibility, stating, "Being a true Citizen of the World means partnering with the communities where we live and work. This collaboration with House of Hope reflects our belief that corporate responsibility must translate into real, measurable impact, especially for the most vulnerable in our communities."
Expanding Support Through COTW Foundation Initiatives
Under the COTW Foundation, TP in the Philippines will bolster various critical initiatives aimed at enhancing pediatric cancer care. These efforts include:
- Improving access to essential medical treatments for children.
- Implementing early detection programs to identify cancer at earlier stages.
- Providing child life services to help young patients cope with the emotional and psychological challenges during treatment.
This partnership highlights TP's broader commitment to purpose-driven growth in the Philippines, with a particular focus on Mindanao. As the company expands its presence in the area, it prioritizes long-term community well-being and sustainable development.
Building a Lasting Alliance for Future Generations
By joining forces, TP in the Philippines and the House of Hope Foundation are forging a durable alliance rooted in care, resilience, and shared responsibility. Their collaborative efforts aim to save lives and support children one "Child of Hope" at a time, ensuring a brighter future for families across Mindanao.
