On February 27, 2023, SM Foundation Inc. (SMFI) sent aid to Turkey and Syria, two countries that had recently experienced earthquakes, through the Philippine Red Cross (PRC). 200 gasoline generators were donated to PRC by SMFI on behalf of Connie Angeles, Executive Director of SM Foundation Health and Medical Programs, to provide electricity to earthquake-devastated Turkey and Syria.
Moreover, SM’s social good branch contributed Php5 million to help earthquake victims.
The assistance follows an earthquake with a 7.8 magnitude that struck southeast Turkey and northwest Syria. A magnitude 6.3 earthquake that struck southern Turkiye shortly after the catastrophe caused further casualties and damage.
