Careysburg – Betting company Bettomax Liberia, in partnership with its sponsored female football club Shaita Angels FC, has donated assorted items valued at US$1,000 to My Brother’s Keeper Orphanage and Vocational Training Center in Careysburg District as part of its monthly Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.

The donation included 17 single bed mattresses, 10 bags of rice, a bag of sugar, a large tin of oil, tissue, toothpaste, cartons of soap, Clorox, copybooks, and pens. Administrators at the orphanage described the gesture as “timely.”
Bettomax Liberia’s Operational Manager, Fallah Briama, said the donation reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting vulnerable communities.
“We are honored to be here today along with our sponsored club Shaita Angels FC. We understand the challenges many orphanages face in Liberia, especially with limited funding,” Briama said. “This is part of our monthly CSR activities, and we hope it won’t be the last time this institution receives our support.”
Briama encouraged the caretakers to use the items for their intended purpose and extended appreciation on behalf of Bettomax’s CEO and staff.
Receiving the items, Ralph K. Gelego, General Administrator of My Brother’s Keeper Orphanage, thanked Bettomax and Shaita Angels for the support. He said the home, which was established in 1997, continues to struggle with resources while caring for orphans, disadvantaged children, and people living with disabilities.
“Most of our mattresses were spoiled, and the new ones will serve as direct replacements,” Gelego said. “We care for children from across Africa, not just Liberia. We don’t discriminate.”
He appealed to Bettomax and Shaita Angels to maintain regular support.
Shaita Angels FC Vice President Ricky Teah recalled that the orphanage had once offered the club a training ground when they were in need.
“When we were stranded and looking for a place to train, you helped us. So, we decided to give back in our own small way,” Teah said.
Players of Shaita Angels FC accompanied the donation team and spent time with the children at the orphanage, offering encouragement and engaging in fun activities.
Bettomax, which sponsors both Shaita Angels FC and Watanga FC, said it will continue its CSR initiatives monthly in communities across Liberia.
