Pearl FALCO Launches Kickstarter Project ‘Pearl of Hope’ to Help the Underprivileged Children

SINGAPORE – Media
OutReach – 16 September 2021 – Pearl FALCO today announced the launch of its annual Kickstarter initiative, Pearl of Hope,
to create educational opportunities for underprivileged children in the
Philippines and Himalayas.

It is hoped that this initiative empowers the children to
reach their full potential and excel in school by providing them with tuition
assistance. Donors will be able to help change a child’s future
with the purchase of Pearl FALCO Jewellery. Through this initiative, 10% of the
proceeds from each purchase will go directly to the “Pearl of Hope” fund.

Maiko Makito, Owner and Managing Director of Pearl FALCO, commented, “This campaign complements Pearl FALCO’s corporate
social responsibility (CSR) objective and commitment to provide financial
assistance to the less-privileged children especially at a turbulent time like
this. Education offers children the best pathway to a better life and no child
should to be denied that opportunity regardless of their present circumstances.
Through Pearl of Hope, we hope to provide more
educational opportunities to the children for them to pursue their dreams, now
and in the future.”

“We are extremely excited with this year’s Pearl of Hope
Challenge, knowing that it will be timely for the Christmas season, as a gift to
the children. We hope this year will be a fantastic experience for all of those
taking part and raise more funds for a wonderful cause.” She added.

Since
its inception in 1987, the Pearl of Hope campaign has granted more than 50 educational
scholarships to underserved children all over Asia. Many of Pearl FALCO team members have donated
to the program from their own salaries and the team in Ise Japan also includes
recipients of the grant who have graduated from college.

With this campaign, Pearl
FALCO also hopes to connect Ise Shima, the birthplace of cultured pearls, with
the rest of the world, helping more people learn about timeless pearl jewellery.

How
The Pearl Of Hope Challenge Works

Each
Pearl FALCO necklace contains 50 pieces of 8mm Akoya pearls, with a total value
of S$4250. With that, 1 Akoya pearl is approximately S$85. Each donor may
choose the number of pearls they would like to purchase, making the Pearl of
Hope campaign affordable for everyone.
