Volkswagen Group South Africa has donated R2 million to the Gift of the Givers Foundation to support the organisation's efforts to provide disaster relief and humanitarian aid to the victims of the devastating floods in KwaZulu Natal.
Kariega-based VWSA says the donation will be utilized to support distressed individuals and communities through humanitarian relief aid such as water, food, and care packs.
VWSA says the donation will also go towards funding the repair of damaged infrastructure, schools, early childhood development centres and clinics in affected areas.
Nonkqubela Maliza, Director of Corporate and Government Affairs at VWSA, said the Volkswagen Group would also encourage its employees to contribute to Gift of the Givers' efforts through an online platform for donations to the organisation.
"Our company believes in solidarity in a crisis, especially when there is a humanitarian emergency which requires swift action to provide aid to vulnerable individuals and communities," she said.
"Gift of the Givers is an experienced organisation when it comes to providing such humanitarian aid; they have people on the ground who will ensure that relief aid is urgently provided where it is needed most."
