Nestlé Pakistan has stepped up its national response to COVID-19 pandemic by partnering with Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) for installation of hand hygiene stations at public places, quarantine and health facilities across Balochistan and KPK.

PRCS has unmatched presence and expertise in providing first-aid, emergency response and epidemic control and Nestlé Pakistan will donate it Rs 5 million for the above mentioned purpose.

As part of this partnership, Nestlé Pakistan will extend support to PRCS for promoting well-being for all age groups during the pandemic particularly, amongst the vulnerable communities in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK). This will include improving the hand washing practices widely to prevent transmission of COVID-19 and improving access and utilization of essential and quality hygiene aids to vulnerable communities.

Earlier, Nestlé Pakistan committed Rs 100 million rupees to meet the nutritional needs of both affectees and frontline workers in the national response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the pledge, Nestlé Pakistan is contributing through its products that include 4 million servings of milk; iron fortified dairy products, baby cereals, water and juices.-PR
