It has been more than three years since the tragic incident in Marawi, but the trauma it brought to the children and youth of Marawi still lingers. Three years later, the children and their families continue to live in harsh conditions in temporary shelters and in the homes of other family members. PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF) together with Smart Communications recently partnered with the Ten Outstanding Women in Nation’s Service (Towns) Foundation to strengthen the digital peace education for the youth of Marawi. To power the education campaign, PSF provided Smart LTE Pocket WiFi with load cards to the Teach Peace, Build Peace Movement (TPBPM) for the use of the youth beneficiaries in Marawi City.
Towns Awardee for Education Bai Rohaniza Sumndad-Usman is the founding chief peace mission keeper of Teach Peace Build Peace Movement (TPBPM), a non-government organization with a mission to make every filipino child and youth a peace hero. Sumndad-Usman is also one of the Digital Peace Education Project leaders.
