Education offers the key to unlocking socioeconomic advancement opportunities.
GrabScholar
We provide scholarships and bursaries to support underprivileged students, particularly those from within our communities, to have access to education.
Indonesia
We partnered with BenihBaik, an Indonesian crowdfunding platform, to support more than 1000 elementary, junior high, high school and undergraduate students in Indonesia.
With our partners BagoSphere and PHINMA Education, we launched a three-pronged scholarship programme which covers college scholarship, bursary support, and ACED-BagoSphere BPO Fellowship (BBF) programme. GrabScholar Philippines is set to aid around 300 young Filipino students and 150 adult learners.
COVID-19 has dealt an unprecedented blow to the tourism industry, affecting the livelihoods of millions of workers. One of them was Komsan, an assistant chef in a luxury hotel based in the Srinakarin area.
As the number of tourists at the hotel plunged, he decided to sign up as a GrabFood delivery-partner to earn an alternative income. Soon after, the hotel ceased operations.
Komsan has viewed this change through an optimistic lens, calling it the perfect opportunity for him to embark on a fresh journey after his previous job. Aside from GrabFood deliveries, he now also picks up GrabExpress jobs. It can get tiring, having to shuttle between different locations, but Komsan finds it exciting. And mostly, he’s glad to get his income back on track.
