The aid facilitated by Gift of the Givers – an organization with a strong presence in both countries – will be funneled towards food security and other necessities. Together with its partners, MultiChoice Malawi and MultiChoice Mozambique, employee volunteers will help distribute the aid.
“Our thoughts go out to the people of Malawi and Mozambique for the tragic losses they have suffered. This tragedy has prompted us to make this humble contribution to support in any way we can,” said Dr. Keabetswe Modimoeng, Group Executive Corporate Affairs and Stakeholder Relations, MultiChoice Africa.
With a long history of delivering high-quality content in the form of news, sports and entertainment to citizens in both countries, the company further emphasized its willingness to deepen cooperation with governments in markets where it operates. “Our door remains open to finding solutions and contributing to the upliftment and betterment of African lives, especially at such times of great need,” added Modimoeng.
Presenting the money, Dr. Imtiaz Sooliman, founder of Gift of the Givers, commented: “MultiChoice Africa’s donation will greatly contribute to disaster management in Mozambique and Malawi. It is imperative that companies like MultiChoice Africa continue to work with governments and foundations when it comes to disaster relief, no one can handle the tragic impact of Cyclone Freddy, for example, it is only when we come together that we can support communities.”
