Delta Corporation handed over a greenhouse worth US$12 000 to Melfort Old People’s Home on Thursday.
The Roman Catholic-run home’s previous greenhouse was razed by a veld fire last year.
Delta’s general manager (corporate affairs) Ms Patricia Murambinda: “It was an unfortunate experience, but we thank God that no human life was lost.
“I have learnt that if Delta Corporation commits to do something, it will not rest until the same thing is delivered.
“Today, we celebrate this milestone as we restore what has been lost.”
The company, she said, will continue supporting the home in different ways.
Father Kenneth Muguti said the gesture by Delta goes beyond corporate social responsibility.
“This gesture is not just a corporate social responsibility, but shows ‘unbuntu/hunhu’ (humanity) as expected from the community to their elderly.
“These people were once young as we are and one day we are also going to be old as they are.
“It is our collective role to look after them as we celebrate the gift of life,” he said.
As part of the assistance, the home’s projects include vegetable production, poultry and fish farming that were implemented through support from Delta in 2019.
