Civil Society Organisation ACODE-SL.
The donation which includes Motorbikes,
office equipment and cash was presented to ACODE-SL Chairman Claude Sheriff.
ACODE-SL Chairman Claude Sheriff
explained that they are were faced with several challenges as a local
Non-Governmental Organisation through that they wrote to several companies but
Seawright Mining Company was the only company that came to their aid.
Mr Sheriff said they were challenged
with mobility and office equipment among others things. He said they were
finding it very difficult to move for one location to another to advocate and
speak on behalf of others.
He expressed their appreciation to Seawright
Mining for their timely intervention. According to Mr Sheriff, such donation
has helped them to carry on with their activities very fast.
ACODE-SL a local community base and
civil society organisation advocates on behalf of the voiceless in the East of
Sierra Leone.
The Human Resource Officer Alex
Christian Manie said when they were approached by ACODE-SL, they met at
management level to see what they can do for them and at the end of their
meeting they agreed to give such donation.
Alex Christian Manie said they donated a
motorbike, one computer and accessory and cash for the licensing of the
motorbike.
Alex Christian Manie added that
Seawright felt very good to make such a donation, “We are doing what other
companies have failed to do and we are one step ahead.”
He disclosed that Seawright is currently
undertaking exploration but what they have done in terms of Corporate Social
Responsibility was beyond people’s imagination. He stressed that the
communities they were operating needed to feel belonged, that was why they were
doing all they could to please them despite the exploration stage the company
was.
He said that was not their first
donation and it would not be the last as they hoped to do more of such in the
two communities they are operating.
Before presenting the items, Chief
Operating Officer, of Seawright Mining Company, William Browne Kamanda outlined
some of their Corporate Social
Responsibilities in the two districts they operate such as community
development, education, road network, rehabilitation of a primary school at
Formaya, construction of a ferry to ease transportation across the Ngawama
River among others.
He encouraged the organization to continue advocating for the voiceless
as they are the only people who could speak on their behalf.
He pledged Seawright’s commitment not only to the communities they
operate but to the country in general.
