CSR Activities – Response to Covid-19
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic was unprecedented in its scale, and while major cities in the countries where we are present were reasonably well equipped to mitigate the spread and the negative impact of the virus, many remote communities in which we operate suffered from the lack of access to essential food and hygiene products. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, AMEA Power delivered essential food and hygiene products to several countries across Africa. We worked closely with our local teams, the local communities and NGOs to reach the ones in need, whilst observing local regulations.
Social Activity – During Ramadan
During the Holy Month of Ramadan, AMEA Power donated essential food to families across countries in which we are active. AMEA Power worked closely with our local teams, local communities and NGOs to coordinate the distribution of the food.
