By Reuben Sei Waylaun

Liberia’s premium importer of wholesale of rice and various kinds of food stuffs, Supplying West Africa Trade (SWAT) has committed LD1.5million to charity in the country.

The company made the commitment Wednesday April 18, 2018 at the ‘Presidential Special Charity Program’ organized by the innovative City Mayor of the Monrovia City Corporation (MCC), Jefferson Koijee at the Monrovia City Hall.

SWAT made the pledge in the presence of President George Manneh Weah and other dignitaries who were also gracing the occasion.

The aim of the MCC is to help those that are really in need in the country. The program is geared to cater to the poor and other vulnerable groups in the country.

SWAT has helped and continues to help Liberians at all times. This was demonstrated during the Ebola crisis in the country when the company identified with Liberians in the fight against the disease.
