Pru Life UK expands its Adopt-a-Madrasah program, empowering more Muslim communities in Mindanao, as part of its Takaful journey. The Adopt-a-Madrasah learning modules will be rolled out in Davao, Cagayan de Oro, and Zamboanga.
In October 2024, Pru Life UK piloted its Adopt-a-Madrasah (Islamic school) program for three madaris in Davao City benefiting over 450 students and teachers with school materials.
This year, the program aims to support 1,500 students and teachers in nine Islamic schools.
With international NGO ASSIST as its program implementing partner, the Adopt-a-Madrasah program aims to enhance capacity-building, financial literacy, climate and health awareness to foster resilient communities. The learning modules will include:
- Islamic finance and Takaful education – Introducing the teachers and students to Shari’ah-compliant financial services and solutions for financial inclusion.
- Digital upskilling – Equipping the madaris’ teachers with essential technology learning skills, including basic digital literacy and financial technology (fintech) applications, to supplement and enhance their teaching practices.
- Climate and health – Educating the teachers and the students about the health and financial impacts of climate change to promote climate adaptation and resilience.
“We are excited to bring the Adopt-a-Madrasah program to more Muslim communities in Mindanao and help more students and teachers appreciate the importance of financial security, technology upskilling and climate and health preparedness, as part of our sustainability implementation that seeks to deliver real-world impact and long-term resilience,” shares Atty. Paul Mandal, Pru Life UK’s Senior Vice President and Chief Legal & Sustainability Officer.
“Thank you to our partners, community leaders, guests from the national and local government, the teachers of the three madaris for sharing our mission of financial inclusion, building resilience, and equipping communities with the skills to succeed in a digital and climate-changing world,” he added.
