International consumer goods corporation Procter & Gamble (P&G) will be distributing 300,000 care packs to migrant workers who are currently housed in purpose-built and factory-converted dormitories in Singapore.

P&G to donate household cleaning products on top of care packs

According to a press release, this donation is part of P&G's care initiative with the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the South West Community Development Council (CDC) and the Migrant Workers’ Centre (MWC).

Each care pack will include essential personal health and hygiene items such as an Oral-B toothbrush, Gillette razor, and Head & Shoulders shampoo.

In addition, P&G will also provide household cleaning products to 43 purpose-built and more than 1,000 factory-converted dormitories.

Care packs to be distributed through MWC over following weeks

On April 25, volunteers from P&G were joined by Minister for Manpower Josephine Teo, Senior Parliamentary Secretary Low Yen Ling and Chairman of the MWC, Yeo Guat Kwang, at a packing event.

Over the following weeks, the care packs will be prepared and distributed through the MWC.

P&G has been working with South West CDC to support the community

As part of an on-going partnership with the South West CDC, P&G has also pledged and donated 3,000 South West Care Packs to vulnerable families and frontline workers and 500 sets of cleaning products for identified Social Service Agencies and preschools in the South West District.

Additionally, they have launched a fundraiser with each dollar matched by the company for the benefit of The Courage Fund, an initiative under the National Council for Social Services (NCSS).

The fund aims to provide additional support and relief to vulnerable individuals and families, including healthcare workers, frontline workers and volunteers.
