HSBC Thailand, led by Chief Executive Officer Giorgio Gamba, has announced a donation of 6 million baht to aid flood recovery efforts in northern Thailand. The disaster relief fund will be distributed through three prestigious organizations: Community Children Foundation (CCF) under the Royal Patronage of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, Thai Red Cross Society, and World Vision Foundation of Thailand. This initiative will support over 1,850 households, benefiting 6,373 individuals affected by flooding in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai Provinces.
"HSBC has been deeply committed to supporting the development of Thailand's economy and society for 136 years, since our establishment as the country's first commercial bank in 1888," said Giorgio Gamba, CEO of HSBC Thailand. "This flood relief effort reflects our dedication to helping disaster-affected communities overcome challenging times and restore their normal lives as quickly as possible."
"The 6-million-baht donation is being channeled through three organizations - Community Children Foundation (CCF) under the Royal Patronage of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, Thai Red Cross Society, and World Vision Foundation of Thailand - to ensure sustainable and comprehensive assistance reaches flood victims in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai provinces. Our support covers multiple dimensions of recovery, including housing repairs and renovation, livelihood rehabilitation programs, school building restoration, educational support (uniforms, books, and teaching materials for flood-affected schools), and distribution of clothing and winter supplies. This multi-faceted approach reflects HSBC's commitment to enhancing the quality of life for Thai people, particularly during times of crisis," Gamba concluded.
