Bayer is providing sustainable support for the reconstruction of Sichuan Technology and Business College in Dujiangyan — one of the three colleges most heavily damaged by the earthquake in Sichuan.
The donation of classrooms, homes and a mobile clinic by the Bayer Cares Foundation is valued at around EUR825,000, and brings the Bayer group's total donations to earthquake relief – including medical supplies, cash donations by employees and the company, and vector control – to more than EUR2.2 million.
To help restore normal schooling at the college, Bayer has donated 20 standard classrooms, 50 houses and a clinic, including design, production, transport and on-site assembly. The total construction area exceeds 2,000 square meters. The company also provided all the necessary equipment for the completion and immediate functioning of the buildings, such as whiteboards, beds, and medicines.
