Valmet Corporation's press release on April 30, 2015 at 2:30 p.m. EET
Valmet has made a donation to support catastrophe victims in Nepal, which was
hit by a severe earthquake on Saturday, April 25. Valmet agreed to channel the
EUR 10,000 contribution through a humanitarian organization, the Finnish Red
Cross. The donation is targeted at first aid and rebuilding work.
"When a catastrophe of this magnitude occurs, all support is needed. We hope
that Valmet's donation helps contribute to restoring normal operations in the
area," says Anu Salonsaari-Posti, Senior Vice President, Marketing and
Communications, Valmet.
The Red Cross currently has 10,000 volunteers in the field to provide first aid
to those injured in the earthquake and to look for survivors. The Red Cross also
has aid supplies, such as blankets, tarps and cooking sets, for 40,000 people.
Earlier in December 2014, Valmet allocated part of its annual seasonal donation
to the Red Cross' Disaster Relief Fund. Through the Disaster Relief Fund the Red
Cross helps the victims of natural disasters and conflicts around the world by
delivering supplies, such as tents, blankets, clean drinking water or an entire
field hospital to the disaster areas. The Red Cross also continuously helps to
fight diseases and hunger together with local volunteers.
