Hard challenges demand big responses and Typhoon Florita produced significant effects on the Philippine people living in the Isabela Province. The damage caused by the tropical storm affected different areas of society, raising the attention of the FBM Foundation and General Touch for this problem.
The two organizations coordinated a humanitarian action with the help of eleven volunteers on the field and distributed essential goods to give an important push to the community in its fight to return to normal routines.
For Vítor Francisco, Director at FBM Foundation, “the unfortunate situations as the one that people are experiencing in the Isabela Province are the reason why FBM Foundation exists. We are thrilled to have the opportunity of helping this community and make an effective contribution to their recovery with the help of General Touch. We hope that this can be the first step of a quick and sustainable comeback for this region of the Philippines.”
General Touch made a contribution to this cause with a financial donation of USD 10,000 to the FBM Foundation, that used the amount to produce essential kits to help in the recovery mission of Isabela’s population. Each kit contained food (rice, canned goods and noodles) and hygiene items (toothpaste, shampoo and soap) for daily use.
General Touch has been a leading touchscreen solutions provider in the global marketplace for more than 20 years. As a forerunner in China’s touchscreen industry, General Touch quickly became a global player in delivering high-quality, cost-effective and versatile touchscreens for customers from 80+ countries with over 4 million installations.
FBM Foundation was born through specific humanitarian actions coordinated by the FBM brand to help the Filipino communities affected by natural disasters. The foundation also takes concrete actions to encourage traditional or professional education and boost socioeconomic changes that produce positive effects in the long-term future.
