Monrovia – Equatorial Coca-Cola Bottling Company in partnership with the Coca-Cola Africa Foundation and Medshare have recently donated lifesaving medical materials worth US$1,800,000 to six of the thirteen countries were Equatorial Coca-Cola operates.
The company has delivered two containers in Sierra Leone, two in Liberia, one in Cape Verde, two in Guinea Conakry, one in Ghana and one in Gambia.
These donations are part of the ShareHope program, a project led by the Coca-Cola Africa Foundation and Medshare that has operated with the collaboration of Equatorial Coca-Cola for many years, benefiting many countries on the African continent.
Thanks to the ShareHope program, the personnel of the recipient hospitals carefully select the supplies and equipment from Medshare’s database to meet their hospital’s most urgent needs, improving local healthcare infrastructure.
These donations are also augmented by biomed training support provided by Medshare and The Coca-Cola Africa Foundation.
In words of Juan de Rueda, Equatorial Coca-Cola Corporate Affairs Director, “our company has always been actively involved in the development of the families and communities of the countries where we work and this commitment is demonstrated by our partnership with the Coca-Cola Africa Foundation.
Working together with them and Medshare in projects like ShareHope allow us to improve the life of many people, through better health, access to drinking water, education or sustainability”.
