Alstom donates to CORPALIV, which works with children with severe multiple disabilities


Alstom Chile has made a donation of $4 million Chilean pesos to the CORPALIV Corporation, an organisation that through its free special school welcomes and educates children with severe multiple disabilities in a situation of social vulnerability and accompanies their families.

The donation is part of Alstom’s social responsibility initiatives in different countries, inspired by its spirit of international solidarity in the face of the crisis that COVID-19 has generated in different institutions and communities.

CORPALIV works with children who require assistance and daily care to perform their basic routines such as dressing, eating or bathing, plus several hours a day to enhance their development and achieve small advances and achievements in their autonomy.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, children are receiving remote educational assistance from the corporation.  However, many parents have difficulty in obtaining an income and some are not even able to provide adequate food.

Denis Girault, Director General of Alstom Chile SA said: “We are delighted to contribute to this commendable project and to help CORPALIV improve the living conditions of many families who have the dual challenge of caring for their children and keeping their homes in such a difficult economic context as that generated by COVID-19.”

In May, Alstom donated 50 face protection viewers made using 3D printers to officials of the Family Health Centre (CESFAM) Father Pierre Dubois, in Pedro Aguirre Cerda, and worldwide has provided protective equipment such as disposable gloves, alcohol gel, integral antiviral suits, eyeglasses, glasses and protectors.
