“We dedicate this recognition to the communities who continue to inspire our work and to our partners in social good who help turn purpose into progress,” he added.
These recent wins reinforce SM Foundation’s growing recognition for its development communication efforts—leveraging storytelling, multimedia, and strategic messaging to amplify its advocacies in health, education, disaster response, livelihood, and agriculture.
