Transport International Holdings Limited (“TIH”, Stock Code: 0062) announced that it will donate face masks per month to a number of voluntary organisations to assist subdivided unit households, the homeless and the disabled. The donations will continue until the COVID-19 epidemic has significantly eased. TIH intends to fight the epidemic with Hong Kong people through actions.

TIH will distribute self-produced 3-layer surgical masks to those in need and demonstrate the spirit of community care through four voluntary organisations: the Society for Community Organisation, Hong Kong Federation of Handicapped Youth, Hong Chi Association and The Hong Kong Society for the Deaf.

The spokesperson said that TIH had chosen to provide assistance to subdivided unit households, the homeless and the disabled, given that the COVID-19 epidemic is expected to last for a period of time and masks have become an essential anti-epidemic measure in daily life. For those grassroots citizens who live in unsuitable housing, the long-term purchase of anti-epidemic items has caused financial pressure while the homeless may at a higher risk of infection as they spend more time in public areas and hence a quality mask is very important for them. As for people with disabilities, they often cannot go out frequently to buy anti-epidemic items due to travel inconvenience. Therefore, TIH hopes to provide them with a little convenience and relieve their life pressure.
