Tonight, the Tencent Charity Foundation announced a donation of 300 million yuan to establish the first phase of the novel pneumonia epidemic prevention and control fund.

The Tencent Charity Foundation said that the donation will mainly be used for frontline fighting and prevention work in affected areas in Wuhan and other places, including the procurement of masks, disinfectant, goggles and other materials, as well as help and incentives for frontline healthcare workers.

According to reports, the 300 million yuan donated by the Tencent Charity Foundation this time is the first phase of funding for the Tencent Charity Foundation to fight the novel coronavirus pneumonia. In the future, according to the epidemic situation, we will also combine Tencent's products and technology with Internet platform capabilities to provide more help within our capabilities to the public, especially in areas where the epidemic has occurred.

At the same time, the Tencent charity platform also collaborated closely with charitable organizations such as the Hubei Red Cross Foundation, the Chongqing Charity Federation, and the First Foundation to launch a number of related charity projects as soon as possible to facilitate donations from enthusiastic netizens. Currently, it has collected nearly 5 million yuan in donations. Regarding the use of subsequent donations, Tencent Charity will regularly push feedback on project progress, and show the full use of each donation in a transparent and open manner.
