History
The 's presence in Macau began in 1920,[4] and became established as a delegation in 1943. A chapter of the book The Red Cross Movement described the Macau Red Cross as "simultaneously, a local creation, a delegation integrated into a national/colonial context, an inter-imperial structure and part of a transnational institution with global reach."[5] The Macau Red Cross left the Portuguese organisation and joined the Red Cross Society of China effective 20 December 1999.[4]
It supports a school in, Shiqian County, Tongren, Guizhou: Melco Crown-Macau Red Cross Bo-Ai Primary School .[6] It first opened in 1964 and had its current facility open in 2017.[7]
