The fire, which occurred on March 14, tragically claimed the lives of two children and caused significant damage to the home.
On March 29, Shaita Angels and Bettomax presented essential items valued at approximately US$1,000 to help the Safe Home recover from the loss. The donation included 10 bags of 25 kg rice, 15 mattresses, 2 tins of 10 liters of cooking oil, washing soap, sanitary pads, toiletries, and other household essentials.
Benjamin Gologo Garkpah, representing Bettomax, expressed sadness over the tragic incident, emphasizing their commitment to community welfare. “This is part of our ongoing corporate social responsibility efforts,” Garkpah said. “Bettomax and Shaita Angels regularly support health sector initiatives, orphanages, and other community projects. We are here today to assist THINK Safe Home after this terrible fire.”
Garkpah also highlighted that Bettomax’s initiatives would continue long-term, noting their previous support for various health facilities and orphanages in Liberia.
Musu Y. Taiwon, Manager of THINK Safe Home, expressed gratitude for the generous donation. She shared the heartbreak of losing two children, aged 13 and 14, in the fire and the difficulties the organization is facing in finding a new location for the children.
“We are deeply thankful for the support shown by Bettomax and Shaita Angels. The citizens of Liberia have been incredibly concerned about our loss, and this gesture helps us rebuild,” Taiwon said.
She emphasized that the THINK Safe Home provides shelter and care for children rescued from trafficking situations and prepares them to be reunited with their families.
Ricky Teah, Vice President of Shaita Angels FC, also commended Bettomax for their continuous support to the Liberian community. “We are proud to partner with Bettomax in this meaningful way, and we look forward to further supporting our community and helping those in need,” Teah said.
Bettomax Liberia has been Shaita Angels’ official shirt sponsor since August 2024, under a one-year partnership deal valued at US$14,000, with the option to extend.
As part of the partnership, Bettomax supports specific charitable initiatives chosen by Shaita Angels, further demonstrating their commitment to making a positive impact in Liberia.
