Total Malawi donated fuel worth K5 million to the Ministry of Disaster Management Affairs and Public Events to ease transport challenges faced by health workers.

The donation was presented to Secretary and Commissioner for Disaster, Wilson Moleni who received the donation at Capitol Hill. Giving the donation, Regional Sales Manager for Total Malawi, Abel Yellewa, attributed it to the energy sector’s social responsibility towards customers and stakeholders. “We intend for this fuel to be channeled to and ease mobility challenges of our frontline health workers who are out there testing, protecting and responding to cases of COVID-19. This is one small way of mitigating the impact of the disease,” said Yellewa.

On the other hand, Moleni said the donation will serve the health workers, therefore the government is grateful for the gesture. “We are thankful for the donation from Total Malawi towards the COVID-19 response which will go a long way in this fight.” said Moleni.

Meanwhile, the government plans to raise the MK157 billion needed to effectively fight the disease. “Let me also appeal to other well wishers to also come in and help in any way they can. We need more resources and concerted efforts if we are to win this war,” said Moleni.
