On August 24, 2020, HACO Industry made a significant contribution to the fight against COVID-19 in Ruiru Constituency by donating hand sanitizers to be distributed among vulnerable families.
The donation was handed over by HACO Industries' Administration Manager, Silas Irungu, to support the company's Corporate Social Responsibility efforts.
Ruiru Member of Parliament, Simon Ng'ang'a, commended HACO for their continued support in the fight against COVID-19, highlighting their previous drives to distribute sanitizers to various groups across the country.
Ng'ang'a also emphasized the importance of supporting local industries, stating that they are an integral part of the economy, generating income and creating employment opportunities for locals.
“What HACO has been doing is something that should be emulated, and I urge my fellow Kenyans and the government to continue supporting our local manufacturers so as to enable them to continue with the good work of giving back to society,” he said.
Since March, when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in the country, HACO has distributed free hand sanitizers and handwashing soaps to vulnerable groups, hospitals, county governments, and police stations.
Among the hand sanitizers distributed is Amara sanitizer, which has been approved by the Kenya Bureau of Standards.
