Unilever vitality village
That is what Unilever Philippines committed to the residents of Baseco when it sealed its time capsule during the ground breaking rites of its Vitality Village at the Baseco Compound in Port Area, Manila.
Together with the City of Manila and Gawad Kalinga, Unilever shares the project’s mission by building the nation through creating peaceful and productive communities. The site will be the first of its kind as it will have a community complex composed of a daycare center, youth and sports area and a plaza which will help develop the community further.
Funding
Funding for the village will come from contributions by Unilever employees, former employees and their spouses and will be matched by the company. The build will start with twenty-two (22) commercial and residential units and thirty-eight (38) standard row housing units totalling sixty (60). Completion of the project is expected in two years.
