GMA Kapuso Foundation and Nitori Holdings Corporation are partnering to construct temporary shelter pods in SOCCSKSARGEN. This initiative follows the devastation caused by the June earthquake, which left many residents without homes.
Nitori, a Japanese furniture company, has contributed P3 million to fund the project. An ocular visit and planning conference has already been conducted with local government units to finalize the locations for the shelters.
