Send money and win tablet with WorldRemit back to school competition

 KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 13 -- WorldRemit, a leading international payments company, is giving away 150 tablet computers to students in the Philippines.

Customers will have the chance to win a tablet computer by simply making a transfer to the Philippines using the WorldRemit app or website between July 1 and Sept 30.

According to a statement, the Philippine public schools are scheduled to reopen beginning Aug 24, depending on compliance with the local COVID-19 Risk Severity Classification.

WorldRemit, which has a large presence in the Philippines, wants to create opportunities by widening access to education with this generous offer.

“This competition is our way of helping our customers to support their loved ones whilst playing our part in trying to mitigate inequalities around access to education,” said WorldRemit Managing Director, Asia-Pacific, Scott Eddington.

Every Friday of each week from Aug 14 until Oct 2, WorldRemit will randomly select between 16 and 20 winners. A tablet computer will then be sent to the winners’ chosen recipient who can demonstrate they are currently a student in the Philippines.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Philippine education system suffered huge disruption. Thus, the Department of Education devised a Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan comprising a mixture of face-to-face learning, blended learning, distance learning and home-schooling.
