SM Foundation and Colgate-Palmolive Partner to Deliver 100,000 Oral Care Kits to Children

SM Foundation and Colgate-Palmolive Philippines have joined forces to give 100,000 oral care kits to children aged 12 and below, marking the local launch of Colgate’s global mission to provide 100 million oral care kits worldwide in the next 10 years as part of the company’s 100th anniversary celebration.

The initiative underscores the shared commitment of both organizations to improve the health and well-being of communities, particularly among children. By combining Colgate’s expertise and resources in oral health care with SM’s extensive network, reach, and scale, the partnership aims to make quality oral care products more accessible to families across the country.

Through this collaboration, Colgate-Palmolive will provide the oral care kits, while SM Foundation will leverage its community programs and nationwide presence to ensure the kits reach children who need them most. The oral care kits will be distributed through schools, barangays, and health centers that have been supported by SM Foundation, helping extend the program’s impact to communities across the Philippines.

Together, SM Foundation and Colgate-Palmolive demonstrate how strategic partnerships can create meaningful and lasting change—promoting healthy habits, brighter smiles, and better oral health outcomes for future generations.
