On January 15, 2018, China Power Construction Group Co. Ltd. (PowerChina) donated a batch of supplies to the Zambian government to fight the cholera epidemic. The donated materials included bleaching powder, hand sanitizer, buckets, disinfectant, sterilizing hand sanitizer, hand-washing bucket holders, goggles, masks, and rubber shoes, etc. The total value of the donation is 100,000 Kwacha or about 70,000 CNY. The company also provided 3 dump trucks to the Zambian Ministry of Health to clean up garbage and prevent and control the epidemic. Zambia officials said the outbreak was almost under control.
