Crocs steps forward in fight against poverty

Footwear brand Crocs donated more than 49,000 pairs of clogs to the Red Cross Society of the poverty-stricken district Yunyan in Guiyang, Guizhou province, at China International Import Expo in Shanghai on Nov 6.

Besides shoes, supplies including clothing and stationery were also donated to the district by Crocs during the event.

Wang Qian, deputy secretary of the Yunyan district Party committee and mayor of Guiyang city, said the donations to the poverty-stricken counties in Yunyan showed a strong sense of social responsibility and care for medical staff workers and children in poverty-stricken areas.
