In response to the call of the CPC Central Committee, the national, provincial and municipal women's federations and the district government after the earthquake in Gansu Province, Foshan Chancheng District Women's Federation quickly made a deployment, and held the heart-warming materials donation ceremony in Lingnan Compound, Chancheng District together with Guangdong Women's Federation, Guangdong Women and Children's Foundation, and CPC Chancheng District Committee and Chancheng District Government on the afternoon of December 24. Themed with "Women Concerned with the Disaster-stricken Area", the donation connected Chancheng District of Foshan and Linxia of Gansu Province despite a long distance of about 2500KM.
Women's federations at all levels, women
entrepreneurs associations, executive committees of women's federations, and
female volunteers responded to the call, promptly raised disaster relief
materials, and sent "maiden home-like" care for women and children in
the disaster-stricken area as early as possible.
The temperature in the disaster-stricken area
can reach as low as ten degrees below zero at night, and the bitter cold is a
great challenge for rescue workers and the affected people. Meanwhile, women
and infants need more attention because of their physiological particularities.
In order to address the urgent needs of the disaster-stricken people, Kingdom
Healthcare Holdings Limited, through the organization of the Women's
Federation, donated female hygiene products worthy of RMB 45,000, and urgently
shipped to the earthquake disaster-stricken area in Jishishan, Gansu Province,
shouldering women’s responsibility in the face of the disaster.
