The Change for Good partnership between UNICEF and leading Philippine airline Cebu Pacific supports UNICEF's First 1, 000 Days program, which helps give Filipino children the best start in life through health and nutrition interventions from their conception until 2 years of age. Ensuring the optimal health and nutrition of children during this critical period of their development will ensure that they are protected from life-threatening childhood diseases, that they finish more years of school, and even earn up to 50% more as adults — contributing to the long-term health, stability and prosperity of children and the Philippines. Cebu Pacific is the first and only partner of UNICEF in the Philippines and Southeast Asia for the global Change for Good fundraising initiative.
