Supporting our Community amidst the Fifth Wave of the Pandemic
As COVID-19 continued to spread within the local community at the beginning of 2022, Henderson Land and the Henderson Development Anti-Epidemic Fund (“the Fund”) privately financed by the Group’s Chairmen, Dr Lee Ka Kit, Peter and Dr Lee Ka Shing, Martin, offered an array of assistance to the public, fulfilling their pledges to provide timely assistance to people-in-need in the community.
Since the onset of the fifth wave, the Group provided four separate land plots in Yuen Long and San Tin comprising a combined total of 1.25 million square feet to facilitate the Government's implementation of anti-epidemic measures, including for the use of community isolation facilities.
In addition, the Group and the Fund contributed to a number of COVID-19 relief causes and initiatives, including the procurement of approximately HK$20 million worth of anti-epidemic supplies. With the help of various NGO partners, the supplies were distributed to frontline medical workers, elderly homes and low-income families, among others. The Group’s Towngas and Miramar Group, as well as Union Hospital, also launched a raft of relief measures to help the city endure these trying times.
