Employees from FCC Chile implement provisions for families affected by torrents in the north of the country

After the initial impact, workers from FCC Chile were asked to collaborate and, with this encouragement, they donated 300 litres of chlorine and 530 litres of water; essential items nowadays which are helping to resolve part of the health crisis occurring in the regions of Antofagasta, Atacama and Coquimbo.

The donation was made on 9 April through the facilities of Red Cross Chile; a charity with a strong presence in the affected area and which highlighted the need for supplies after carrying out an analysis of the land.

We would like to thank all those who participated in this campaign, including some of our suppliers who demonstrated their willingness to join in on the activity by offering attractive discounts on the price of their products.
