Clairmont Capital Partners make 1,000,000 HKD donation to Philippines for relief aid

CHIYODA-KU, Japan - Jan. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- Clairmont Capital Partners today announced that it will donate 1 million HKD (approx. EUR100, 000) for relief aid to the people and communities affected by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. The donation will be entrusted to the Red Cross Society. Clairmont Capital Partners would like to take this opportunity to offer our heartfelt condolences to the people affected and to offer our sincere wishes for their recovery.

Background

The tropical cyclone Haiyan (locally named Yolanda), one of the strongest ever recorded, hit the Philippines on 7 and 8 November causing wide-spread damage. The full extent of destruction is still being accessed. The UN estimates that 11.3 million people - or over 10% of the Philippine population – are affected. The death toll continues to rise.

The Philippines is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world. In October, the Philippines were hit by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake, which destroyed the homes and livelihoods of around 350,000 people. In 2013 alone, the European Union has provided significant humanitarian assistance to the archipelago: €2.5 million have just been made available for the response to the earthquake in Bohol; for Typhoon Bopha (Pablo), a total of €10 million have been released to help rebuild the communities devastated by the cyclone hit South-Eastern Mindanao in December 2012; following flooding caused by Typhoon Trami (Maring) in August ECHO committed €200 000 to help those affected, and €300 000 were allocated in early October to assist those displaced by the conflict in Zamboanga.
