PepsiCo, women's foundation help alleviate poverty in Yunnan

Food and beverage retailer PepsiCo China and the China Women's Development Foundation jointly launched their 2018 "Bring Happiness Home Postal Parcel for Mothers" charity campaign on Feb 8 to help poverty-stricken mothers in Dongchuan district, Kunming, Yunnan province.

PepsiCo has been involved in the program for seven consecutive years, with donations exceeding 4 million yuan ($632,000), benefiting more than 30,000 poor mothers and their families in 12 provinces and cities.

Yunnan is one of the major battlegrounds for fighting poverty in the country. Pepsi-Co senior executives and CWDF officials delivered parcels, containing various daily necessities and warm clothing, to the poor mothers, chatted with them and got to know about their living conditions.
