On World Humanitarian Day, celebrated on August 19, the world pays tribute to humanitarian workers affected in the course of their work, and we honor all humanitarian workers and health professionals who continue, despite the challenges, to provide assistance and protection to millions of people.
This year, the celebration comes as the world is still grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic. Humanitarian workers are overcoming unprecedented access barriers to assist people in humanitarian crises in 54 countries, as well as in nine additional countries that have been catapulted into humanitarian need by the COVID-19 pandemic.
At Bepensa, since the beginning of the pandemic, we have worked through our divisions and Bepensa Foundation, to assist families who were in a state of greater vulnerability in the communities where we operate, thus ensuring their well-being.
In our campaign #UnitedWeCanDoIt, we have focused on protecting and providing aid to medical personnel, with key support from the Ministries of Health and State Police. This combined effort for the well-being of Mexicans has resulted in the delivery to date of more than 688,000 liters of water and rehydration drinks, more than 76,000 pieces of supplies for their work, such as disposable gowns, nitrile gloves, N95 masks, face shields, 52,000 triple-layer face masks, 44,000 liters of 70% alcohol gel, as well as 5,400 protective face shields made from recycled PET, delivered to hospitals and clinics of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), the IMSS Foundation, ISSSTE, SEDENA hospitals, the Red Cross, and the Police in the Yucatán Peninsula. In addition, seven vehicles have been loaned to the Ministries of Health and authorities in the states of Campeche, Quintana Roo, and Yucatán to provide safe transportation for medical personnel.
As part of the actions we're taking to support communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, and with the goal of reinforcing basic hygiene and safety measures during this contingency, we've delivered more than 130,000 liters of antibacterial gel, 3,000 acrylic protective screens to small stores, and more than 10,000 face shields made 100% from recycled PET to our customers and consumers.
Through the Bepensa Foundation, with our platform Regalove, we have provided a way for people to make donations to the most vulnerable communities. This project is part of major initiatives such as Solidarity Yucatan, which was recognized as one of the most humanitarian actions in the world during the current Coronavirus pandemic with the Solidarity in Action Award granted by the United Nations Organization.
To date, Regalove has continued to double its contributions and has accumulated more than $2,700,000 in donations, which have been distributed to various civil associations registered on the platform to help those most in need.
In addition, in conjunction with Coca-Cola Foundation We support, in partnership with civil society organizations, the provision of food, hygiene and basic necessities, along with more than 4,000 food parcels and more than 25,000 liters of water to the neediest population in the Yucatan Peninsula affected by the health emergency and natural disasters.
At Bepensa, we are a company that works for your well-being and that of our communities.
