Around 200 volunteers from Sands China Ltd. and local community groups recently worked together at The Venetian Macao to build 40,000 hygiene kits for Clean the World, an international social enterprise that provides hygiene supplies essential to populations in need around the globe.
Some 50 volunteers came from three local associations: the Macau Association for the Mentally Handicapped, the Macau Autism Association and Fuhong Society of Macau, according to a statement issued by the gaming operator.
“With the world currently navigating a new and challenging landscape due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s more important than ever to continue initiatives like this so that areas in need can be better prepared to deal with times of crisis and difficulty,” said Dr. Wilfred Wong, president of Sands China Ltd.
The kits will benefit global charity Children International, who will deliver them to families in need in the Philippines, providing hygiene supplies that are essential in times of crisis.
Including this year’s event, the company and its community partners have assembled a total of 280,000 kits since 2013.
