JAKARTA, Indonesia, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KuCoin, in collaboration with the Global CSR Foundation and the American Medical Women's Association (AMWA), is supporting Yayasan Srikandi Merah Putih's 'A Matter of Dignity – Sumatra Relief Initiative' through the delivery of 5,000 menstrual hygiene kits. The broader relief program includes essential medicines and fresh food alongside women's health support to disaster-affected communities in Aceh and Medan, Sumatra.
Distribution is scheduled to begin in early April 2026, focusing on communities most affected by recent disasters and prolonged recovery challenges.
"This initiative is about responding to crisis in a way that protects both life and dignity," said Aurelly Syifalia Widihartanto, Co-Founder of Yayasan Srikandi Merah Putih. "Women are often the most affected during disasters, yet their basic health needs are the first to be overlooked. Our goal is to ensure care reaches communities not only quickly, but respectfully and responsibly."
The initiative builds on an established collaboration between AMWA's Global Health Lead Dr Padmini Murthy and Global CSR Foundation, founded by Jing Zhao Cesarone, and expands into Indonesia through Yayasan Srikandi Merah Putih, with leadership support from Vice President Stefanny Florina.
The Menstrual Equity Project was conceptualized by Dr. Padmini Murthy and Jing Zhao Cesarone and has been successfully implemented in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, the Republic of Suriname, and in satellite clinics affiliated with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, providing a proven model now adapted for the Indonesian context.
The procurement and shipment of menstrual hygiene kits are supported by KuCoin, represented by CSR Director and Global Human Resources Director Sylvie Dong, enabling the timely delivery of women's health supplies. "Corporate responsibility means showing up in practical ways when communities are affected by disaster," said Sylvie Dong. "KuCoin will continue to support CSR initiatives that address real needs and deliver meaningful help on the ground."
On-the-ground distribution of medicine, food, and hygiene kits in Aceh and Medan is led by Maha Medicare, which has been actively assisting flood-affected communities in Medan since December.
The initiative is supported by regional and national leadership, including H. Teuku Badruddin Syah, Sultan of Aceh, reflecting strong local commitment to community recovery. National-level support is further demonstrated through the involvement of Agustina Hastarini, Spouse of the Minister of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) of Indonesia and La Ode Ikrar Hastomi as the representative of the Ministry of Industry of Indonesia, underscoring government engagement in cross-sector humanitarian action.
The relief effort has also drawn support from prominent Indonesian public figures who are using their platforms to amplify the message of dignity-centered humanitarian response. Indonesian actors and actresses Baim Wong, Rianti Cartwright, Dame Aning, Nadya Shakira, Ririn Dwi Ariyanti, and Metta Permadi have joined the initiative, helping raise awareness around women's health, access to essential care, and the importance of dignity in disaster response.
The initiative was formally presented during an intimate press dinner titled "A Matter of Dignity," held on Friday, 6 February 2026, at Sushi Maru Hang Tuah, Jakarta, bringing together foundation leaders, government representatives, medical experts, business executives, public figures, and senior media.
Post-distribution documentation, verified impact reports, and visual materials from Aceh and Medan will be made available to media following deployment.

At Anker Day 2026, Anker Innovations marks its 15th anniversary by unveiling THUS™ - ANKER's first neural-net Compute-in-Memory AI audio chip - and a new generation of products across soundcore and eufy.
NEW YORK and Bellevue, Wash., May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Anker Innovations is hosting Anker Day 2026: Where Ultimate Meets Possible, its annual brand event to showcase the newest product launches and technology break-throughs across its portfolio. Where Ultimate Meets Possible will bring together media, retail buyers and key influencers for an exclusive look at what's next in consumer electronics, spanning premium audio, home energy and the smart home appliances.
Where Ultimate Meets Possible will be held at STORIED in New York City, an invite-only experience featuring keynote presentations, hands-on product demonstrations and a deep dive into the company's latest innovations.
Anker Day 2026 debuted innovations across three brands: soundcore's Liberty 5 Pro and Pro Max — the first earbuds powered by Anker's new THUS™ AI chip — alongside VibeOS AI platform and Nebula SpaceFlow; Anker SOLIX's S2000, the world's longest-lasting 2kWh home backup power station; and eufy's EdgeAgent™, a local AI home security agent, plus new baby care products.
Started With Power
Anker was founded in 2011 and released its first product in the following year: a 4,500mAh ultra-slim power bank. It was a modest beginning, but behind it was an engineering conviction that would shape everything that followed. If technology is going to make a meaningful difference in people's lives, it has to be built to the highest possible standard.
2012 - The Beginning
Anker's first product: a 4,500mAh ultra-slim power bank - the start of a commitment to putting well-engineered, reliable power in people's hands.
2013 - PowerIQ™
Introduced PowerIQ™, enabling fast-charging compatibility across both iOS and Android - setting the standard for universal charging intelligence.
2018 - GaN from Aerospace
An early adopter of Gallium Nitride (GaN) from aerospace applications for consumer charging - delivering a 40% size reduction without sacrificing output.
2019 - World's Smallest 18W Charger
Delivered the world's smallest 18W charger at the time - proving that ultimate performance and ultra-compact form are not a trade-off.
2022 - GaNPrime™
Pioneered high-power multi-port chargers with dynamic power distribution - intelligently allocating power across multiple devices simultaneously.
2023 - 240W Wall Charger
Delivered the industry's highest-power 240W wall charger at the time - meeting the demands of the most power-hungry professional setups.
2024 - InstaCord™ & UltraDura™
In 2024, InstaCord™ became Anker's most advanced retractable‑cable technology and UltraDura™ achieved industry‑leading durability.
2025 - GaNPrime™ 2.0 • PowerIQ™ 5.0 • AnkerSense™ View • TurboBoost™
GaNPrime™ 2.0 (most advanced fast charging), PowerIQ™ 5.0 (smartest compatibility), AnkerSense™ View (intelligent display technology), and TurboBoost™ for ultra-fast power bank recharging. The pursuit never stops.
Fifteen years. Eight technology generations. Every breakthrough driven by one and only promise: seeking the ultimate innovation, not as an end in itself, but because technology built to its highest standard is how we put the possibilities people want in their lives within reach. Technology in service of people. That is what this pursuit has always meant.
Today's Milestone: Anker Thus™
For 80 years, chip design has followed the same logic established by John von Neumann in 1945: separate the processor from memory, and shuttle data between them one instruction at a time. For eight decades across mainframes, desktops, and data centers, this model worked. AI breaks that assumption. A neural network draws on millions of learned parameters all at once - and in a wearable device, moving that data between memory and processor consumes more than 90 percent of chip power, leaving almost nothing for actual computation.
THUS™ applies a different principle: embed computation directly inside NOR Flash memory cells, where the model already lives. The model parameters never have to move. The energy previously consumed by data movement is redirected entirely to computation.
The first THUS™ AI chip debuts in earbuds, delivering up to 150 times more AI computing power on the environmental noise cancellation task than Anker's previous-generation flagship earphones.
Clear Calls - the chip's first disclosed feature - runs a large neural network entirely on-device, anchored by eight MEMS microphones and two bone conduction sensors, for a significantly clear call in any environment. Additional AI-powered features including Signature Sound and Voice Control debuted at Anker Day.
"Every AI chip built until now stores the model on one side and does the computation on the other. To think, the device has to carry all those parameters across, many times per second, every single inference. THUS™ puts the computation where the model already lives. The model never has to move again."
- Steven Yang, Founder and CEO, Anker Innovations
THUS™ takes inspiration from "Thus have I heard", a Buddhist phrase that reflects direct transmission - knowledge conveyed as it was experienced, without distortion.
All performance figures are based on internal Anker lab tests. The 150× AI computing power figure applies specifically to the environmental noise cancellation task and reflects the architectural change from rule-based to neural-net AI processing. It is not a general performance claim and does not reflect a process node upgrade. The environmental noise cancellation workload referenced here runs as an on-device neural network model on the first THUS™ chip.
Anker soundcore Liberty 5 Pro: The First Product Powered by Anker Thus™
The soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max are the first two products to ship with the THUS™ chip. Their positioning is organized around three on-device intelligence layers the chip enables - understanding, adapting, and tuning - each representing a function earbuds could not credibly perform before neural-net AI became viable at this scale. Coming to the market soon.
15 Years, One Promise
From our first power bank to a proprietary AI chip in 2026 - the categories we build in keep expanding, and so does the scope of what technology can do for people's lives. Our promise has been one and only, seeking the ultimate innovation, with the conviction that technology built to its highest standard makes the possibilities people want in their lives the ones they can actually live. Fifteen years is long enough to know that trust is earned slowly. Fifteen years in. The pursuit continues.
