Engen $60,000 fuel pledge to FoodForward SA
South African energy firm to help with delivery of nutritious food to vulnerable people.
Engen has pledged R1 million ($68K) fuel to FoodForward SA, to help power the delivery of nutritious food to vulnerable people across South Africa.
“As a brand that aims to enrich lives for a sustainable future, we at Engen are humbled to partner with FoodForward SA,” commented Khalid Latiff, Engen’s General Manager: Corporate Strategy and Communications.
“We hope that our latest fuel contribution will play a small part in ensuring FoodForward SA’s ongoing success in assisting marginalized communities,” added Latiff.
Engen first partnered with FoodForward SA in 2020, with R1 million fuel support.
Andy Du Plessis, managing director of FoodForward SA hailed Engen's ongoing fuel contributions.
“Another R1 million fuel support will help FoodForward SA alleviate hunger across the country and ensure many more impoverished households receive food provisions. Thank you to Engen for their ongoing generosity and for caring enough to make a real difference,” said Du Plessis.
Latiff also praised FoodForward SA for helping address widespread hunger and food insecurity in South Africa but also called on South Africans to come together to help fight hunger.
With approximately 1,280 service stations and hundreds of commercial customers in sub-Saharan Africa, Engen is a one of the leading retailers in the region.
