We actively build multi‑stakeholder partnerships with NGOs, government agencies, and private sector organizations, supported by employee volunteering initiatives, to strengthen resilience and deliver lasting impact in the communities we serve.

Our initiatives

Pru Life UK partnered with the Department of Education to take part in the annual National Schools’ Maintenance Week or Brigada Eskwela. Pru Life UK has joined this effort since 2012, ensuring that schools are ready and safe for students in time for the start of classes through school repair and improvement efforts by volunteers.

Since 2017, Pru Life UK has been providing free Group Personal Accident insurance to up to 8,000 the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) employees—including traffic enforcers, street sweepers, and other permanent, casual, and job order staff. The partnership offers vital protection to workers who brave daily risks on the road, in flood control operations, and in disaster response.

Since 2017, Pru Life UK and Prudence Foundation have been collaborating with the British Embassy Manila to co-fund Chevening Scholarship Grants for Filipino applicants wishing to pursue graduate studies in various fields of specialization in the UK.

An offshoot of the regional PRUVolunteering Programme of Prudence Foundation in aid of rebuilding and recovery efforts for typhoon-Yolanda stricken communities, Padayon Bantayan Island is a holistic community development program aimed at bringing transformative change in the lives of the communities also adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Relief operations

On November 8, 2013, super typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan) took at least 6,300 lives, affected over 14 million people, and caused PhP 571.1 billion (USD 12.7 billion) in damages in the Philippines. About 90% of the Bantayan Island population was displaced by the super typhoon, leaving them in need of housing and livelihood support.

This prompted Pru Life UK, through Prudential Corporation Asia and Prudence Foundation, to commit USD 2 million in 2013 to support the relief and long-term recovery efforts in the affected areas. The team was comprised of life insurance and asset management employees from the UK and 14 Asian markets, including the Philippines (Pru Life UK). Through the Regional PRUVolunteer Program, they completed five legs of building new houses together with the local community and international non-governmental organization, Habitat for Humanity.

In March 2017, 126 disaster-resilient homes – which can withstand magnitude-8 earthquakes and winds of up to 275 kilometers per hour – were turned over to home partners. Prudence Foundation also provided sustainable livelihood through the contribution of 183 motorized boats with fishing nets and 140 cycle rickshaws.

The rain brought by typhoon Maring resulted in the flooding of several provinces in Luzon, including Metro Manila, displacing 600,000 people and damaging 125,248 households. Pru Life UK partnered with Plan International to provide hygiene kits and jerry cans to a total of 3,000 households in Bataan. Pru Life UK also partnered with Save the Children to provide water and newborn kits to around 2,750 affected individuals in Malabon.

Pru Life UK, together with Prudence Foundation, the community investment arm of Prudential plc, has turned over a combined Php 6 million donation to Save the Children Philippines to support children and families affected by Typhoons Tino and Uwan.

The donation will fund back-to-school and hygiene kits for 960 learners and provide multi-purpose cash assistance to 224 families in Cebu and Catanduanes, two of the hardest-hit provinces. This initiative builds on the immediate relief already provided to Pru Life UK employees, agents, and partner communities across the Visayas region.

In 2025, Pru Life UK, with the support of its Cebu-based agents, provided relief assistance to communities severely affected by the earthquake in Bogo, Cebu. The initiative delivered food, water, and blankets to affected families. In addition, over 500 families from its adopted communities in Bantayan Island, Cebu received essential relief kits through its NGO partner, ASSIST.
