Sharp Middle East FZE Supports Children's Vaccination in South Sudan Camps
The campaign was initiated in the ASEAN and Oceania regions by Sharp Corp. in celebration of Sharp's 100th anniversary

The donation was collected from "My Sharp Our Future" Social Action Campaign applied in Middle East, Africa and CIS in support of health programs in the stated areas. From the proceeds of the total units sold of AQUOS TVs and PCI generators and air purifiers in 100 days leading to Sharp's 100th Anniversary, the donations were granted to support activities that protect the lives and health of children. The campaign was initiated in the ASEAN and Oceania regions by Sharp Corp. in celebration of Sharp's 100th anniversary, with a forecasted donation of US$250,000 for the ASEAN, Oceania and Middle East regions combined.
Mr. Fumio Yamaguchi, CEO of Sharp MEA commented, "We are pleased to assist MSF in their life-saving services to the catastrophe in South Sudanese Refugee Camps with this humble donation. It is a way of demonstrating our sincere effort in making a better world for our children in need."
"We are thankful for Sharp Middle East FZE's generous support and response to this emergency", said Mrs. Hala Mouneimne, Deputy Executive Director for MSF's UAE Regional Office. "As the main medical aid provider in all refugee camps in Upper Nile and Unity states, our teams have witnessed a decrease in the catastrophic mortality rates that had ravaged the camps during the summer, due to a massive surge in MSF's response. However, the situation remains critical with refugees still 100% dependent on humanitarian aid. As MSF's response to this crisis continues, outside the scope of the media, Sharp's support means that we are able to continue our life saving medical services."
Diseases such as measles, meningitis, yellow fever and cholera continue to claim thousands of lives in many parts of the world. This first collaboration between Sharp Middle East FZE and MSF will contribute to ensuring that children, who are the first victims, can be protected through inoculations before epidemic outbreaks push them to the brink.
