Johannesburg (People’s Daily) — On August 13, a Bank of China Johannesburg branch donated 40,000 Rand to Hong Ning Chinese Aged Home in South Africa. The donation ceremony was held at the Bank of China's Johannesburg branch.

Hong Ning Chinese Aged Home in South Africa is the only Chinese elderly nursing charity in South Africa. With the outbreak of COVID-19 in South Africa, there were several elderly people and staff members in Hong Ning Chinese Aged Home that got infected with COVID-19, and urgently needed the assistance of prevention materials. At the same time, due to the isolation of the COVID-19 situation, inconvenient social donation activities and shortage of operating funds, the supply of living materials in the Hong Ning Chinese Aged Home is also affected.

After learning about this, BOC Johannesburg branch was particularly concerned. In order to fulfill its social responsibility, the Bank of China actively provided this donation to assist the nursing home to purchase personal protective equipment and living materials, and to offer a love for the elderly to weather the epidemic.
