Generous employees of Zambian Breweries have been donating goods to Beit CURE Hospital in Lusaka, which is one of the few hospitals in the country able to address the surgical needs of children with disabilities.
The items offered by staff from the brewing company include clothes, children’s toys, a fridge and a few cases of the nutritious maheu product.
The clothes were donated by employees from their various departments at Zambian Breweries in October, to commemorate the Cancer Awareness Month.

The management at Beit CURE said they were delighted at this gesture by the Zambian Breweries employees.
“We are humbled by the gesture of Zambian Breweries employees and who saw it befitting to donate to our hospital. We appreciate the donation,” said the Beit CURE Financial Controller Ms. Catherine Malisawa..
