PepsiCo brings succor to poor mothers

PepsiCo Inc and China Women's Development Foundation have donated more than 2,000 "Postal Parcel for Mothers" to poor mothers in Xishacheng Township in Zhangjiakou city, Hebei province.

The average per-capita income of local farmers in the area-where women account for 72 percent of the total population - was 3,720 yuan ($565) in 2014, with the majority living in what is officially rated as semi-poverty regions.

The parcels being given out contain various daily necessities as well as all-weather clothing.
