**HSBC is making a Group donation of £1 million to help SOS Children’s Villages 
in its work caring for orphaned children in Haiti.**

HSBC has worked closely with SOS Children over a number of years through its Future
First programme. SOS Children has operated in Haiti for roughly 30 years and has
two Children’s Villages in the country.

SOS Children CEO Andrew Cates said “we are delighted that HSBC, with its longer 
term perspective on helping children through education and building futures, has
made such a strong commitment to children suffering from the terrible earthquake.”

In addition to the Group donation, other HSBC offices are raising funds for disaster
relief in Haiti. HSBC France, for example, has raised 34,305 euros through donations
from employees and customers.
