Project narrative

In Spring 2020, the Zurich Branch of China Construction Bank (CCB) donated 82,000 masks to multiple institutions in Switzerland. They sent 50,000 masks to CURAVIVA, the association of nursing, welfare, and care homes in Switzerland. Additionally, they sent 20,000 masks to the government of the Canton of Schaffhausen, a canton in northern Switzerland, and 12,000 masks to the Chinese community in Zurich. According to the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China in Zurich and for the Principality of Liechtenstein, the donations were implemented by the Consulate.

Staff comments

1. Neither the China Construction Bank nor the Consulate-General of the People's Republic of China in Zurich and for the Principality of Liechtenstein disclosed the dates of the mask donation. AidData estimates 4/1/2020 to represent Spring 2020. 2. The estimated transaction amount was determined using AidData's COVID Transaction Estimator. 82,000 masks * $0.7 per mask (April 2020 prices) = $57,400 USD.
