Producer Covid-19 Support Update

Update from Eswatini in their fight against the pandemic.

Here is the latest update from Eswatini and how they are spending the grant money raised by our kind and generous supporters to educate their employees about Covid-19 and the preventive measures they can utilise to keep themselves and their families safe:

"Sharing here with you is an image taken from our recent staff training we had with ESK's employees on the pandemic (Covid-19).

This training came about as Management realised that some employees may have fears in reporting sick or rather indicating that they suffer from flu-like symptoms in fear of being retrenched; Some companies within the country have negatively dealt with the pandemic creating hostility between employers and employees at national level.

We at WFF did not wish to have any of our staff or ESK staff silently suffering from any sickness as it firstly posed a danger to themselves and secondly to the entire company as a whole - due to this, WFF & ESK Management saw it fit to go through an intense staff training session on the signs and symptoms of Covid and further assure them that if they follow all procedures in reporting sick or the need to seek medical attention they can do so with their jobs safely waiting for their return.

The training also covered on regulations to follow towards ensuring safety and prevention of infection amongst staff.

Your continuous support propels us to do more. "

"We are also pleased to share with you the photo below which was taken from last Thursday’s distribution of the materials to be used by our farmer the prevention of covid-19 infections while they work on their fields and interact with their clients which was purchased through JTS support.

This particular distribution was made under the Manzini region (district), Eswatini’s leading district with Covid + cases . Your support is greatly appreciated in this regard. "
