JOINING the fight to slow the spread of the deadly coronavirus, the Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) announced a donation of 4,000 cases of juice to the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) to assist vulnerable communities affected by the health crisis.

The donation was made on Thursday when DDL’s Chairman Komal Samaroo said that, “This donation is another way that DDL continues to support the people of Guyana during the current public health crisis. We remain committed to supporting agencies, since we are all in this for the long run. Over the past few months we have seen the devastating effect of COVID-19 and challenges Guyanese are facing and as a company we remain committed to supporting those affected.”

Samaroo further disclosed that the company is also in the process of communicating with the Ministry of Public Health to finalise a donation to health workers countrywide and the National Commission on Disability. An additional 30,000 cases of Topco Juice, valued at $45,000,000, will be donated, the company said in a statement on Friday.

Additionally, donations were also made to several orphanages across the country and the Amerindian People’s Association for COVID-19 affected areas.

These donations follow a donation previously made of 17,500 litres of Environ alcohol-based sanitising cleaner in March and June to senior citizens’ homes, orphanages, night shelters, prisons, and other facilities similar to these, and the Ministry of Education, respectively.
