Mr. Peter Hu, Chairman of SALI Tools, stated at the ceremony: “We firmly believe that genuine business success is inseparable from community well-being.

It ensures that our growth translates into sustained, tangible support for communities in Ethiopia.”
A Strategic Move Rooted in Tradition
The establishment of this joint fund is a strategic extension of SALI Tools’ longstanding commitment to philanthropy. Since its inception, the company has consistently placed community giving at the core of its values.

In early 2020, amid a severe global pandemic and a critical shortage of protective supplies, SALI Tools proactively donated 178,000 masks. This act not only provided a timely response to urgent needs but also powerfully demonstrated the company’s core values and steadfast sense of responsibility, which extend beyond commercial interests and are deeply rooted in community well-being.
