Grindrod dressed its team in pink during October to raise awareness among its employees and partners about the importance of breast cancer prevention.
The breast cancer awareness event took place on 25 October at the Port of Maputo under the theme "Women's Self-Esteem," which aimed to help women recover after breast cancer treatment - a disease more prevalent among women.
At this function, in addition to the usual screening, 100 vouchers were distributed, allowing access to the breast cancer examination centres for employees, as well as for employees of partner companies.
According to Kwazi Mabaso, CEO of Grindrod Terminals: "Grindrod is focused on supporting Mozambican women through various initiatives. Breast cancer prevention is a concern for our company, and, this time, in addition to meeting the needs of our employees, we have expanded our support to include women waiting for an appointment in public hospitals by funding 30 vouchers."
Grindrod is committed to making a positive difference in Africa's trade with the world and touching the lives of the communities in which it operates. In alignment with this Purpose, Grindrod's Women's Forum was established in 2022, focussing on women's well-being.
