De Beers announced that it will contribute $2, 500, 000 across Botswana and Namibia to help in the response to the Covid-19 crisis.

De Beers Group has designed a comprehensive Community Response Plan (CRP) to provide the most effective and relevant support to host communities. The CRP has been developed through engagement with community, traditional and faith leaders, and government agencies to understand their needs and ensure De Beers Group is providing the right support at the right time, both during the pandemic and into the vital economic recovery phase.

De Beers Group will continue to engage regularly with government and community leaders to aid their response to the crisis and further announcements will be made regarding its contribution to response efforts in Canada and South Africa.
