Google and Facebook pledges $1m toward flood relief victims in APAC
Google has pledged to donate $1m from Google.org and Google employees to Goonj and Save the Children (SC) charities for their relief efforts in India and across South Asia.
Facebook too joined Google. In a statement, it said: “Given the immense needs that communities across South Asia are facing following severe flooding and landslides, today we’re announcing that we’re donating $1 million to organizations on the ground providing relief and recovery support.”
Facebook is also launching a fundraising campaign for Save the Children. All fees will be waived and funds raised will go to support local relief efforts.
