London Mining donates rice to landowners

London Mining donation

Further demonstrating their commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility and to the communities in which they operate, London Mining recently donated two hundred bags of rice to landowners and farmers in villages affected by its mining operations. 

Speaking for London Mining Desmond Doherty, Community Relations and Resettlement Manager, explained that the donations are meant to support villages, including Chendetha, Robaka, Robayla, Magbenthey, Kontha, Maforki, Rogbaneh and Magberie, whose food production activities have been affected due to the use of their land for mining. 

Chief Kapr Munta, representing the Paramount Chief ofMarampa, and other village elders, expressed gratitude to London Mining for the donations. The Community Relations Department was singled out for particular praise, for undertaking the task of delivering the rice directly to the recipient villages, rather than through a third party. 

Mr Doherty assured farmers in the area of London Mining’s continued support for their livelihoods, adding that the distribution of rice is an activity that the company undertakes twice a year, in May and October.
