TikTok Donates $10 Million to WHO Solidarity Response Fund

TikTok, the popular social media platform, has announced a donation of $10 million to the World Health Organization's (WHO) Solidarity Response Fund. The fund plays a crucial role in supporting the global health community in the fight against COVID-19.

This donation is part of TikTok's commitment to address the impact of the pandemic on local communities and healthcare workers. The company is actively providing critical supplies, such as masks for healthcare workers and food support for those affected by school closures.

TikTok is also using its platform to support the WHO's efforts in keeping the global community informed and healthy. They have hosted livestreams with WHO experts, providing trusted information and engaging in live Q&A sessions with users from over 70 countries. Additionally, TikTok has partnered with WHO to create an informational page that offers tips on staying safe, preventing the spread of the virus, and dispelling myths around COVID-19.

To further support healthcare workers and local communities, TikTok is matching employee donations to various local and global initiatives, including WHO, Red Cross, and direct relief programs.

As the fight against COVID-19 continues, TikTok will continue to identify ways to support healthcare workers and local communities. They urge those who are financially able to join them in donating to the Solidarity Response Fund.

In the meantime, TikTok emphasizes the importance of reducing the risk of infection by following the guidance provided by local governments. This includes sheltering in place, avoiding crowds, and maintaining rigorous hygiene practices.
