The Spanish fashion retailer Mango will donate 1 per cent of its in-store sales revenue to WHO’s solidarity fund that has been set up to help the most vulnerable health groups in the world.

With more of the brand’s opening in various countries and cities, stores located in New York, Russia, Turkey and Europe will partake in the initiative.

The COVID-19 solidarity fund has been created to allow foundations, organisations or even individuals to help the WHO respond, prevent and detect the disease in different parts of the world.

Apart from the current donation, the brand has also provided 2 million face masks to medical workers along with making their distribution, logistics and production facilities available to the disposal of Spanish authorities for the manufacturing of surgical masks.

As more and more countries relax lockdowns and social distancing norms, Mango was able to open up some stores in Europe in April. Their website has been functional throughout to take orders.
