“With the continuous lockdowns due to COVID -19, most of the families in our Coscuez region are finding it difficult to support themselves. The crisis has severely impacted more than 90% of the community members living through daily means. Therefore, we believe in joining together with our local villages and authorities to support them when it matters the most.

Fura Gems and Coscuez S.A in partnership with the Mayor of San Pablo de Borbur and Mayor of Otanche set up ‘’Community First Fund’’. This fund will feed almost 14,000 community members for a month who are living in the region. We aim to raise to USD200,000 to buy a kit consisting of rice, grains, coffee, beans, milk powder, vegetable oils, corn flour and other essential items.

Fura Gems has contributed USD50,000 to the fund, and it needs the generosity of others to win this raging war against hunger. Here’s an earnest plea to donate generously towards the cause. Any amount, no matter how small, will make a difference. Please contact us at communityfirst@furagems.com for your contribution.

2020 will be a year to remember. Each of us will have an exciting story to tell. Let yours be the one of saving lives of people by feeding them three square meals a day”.
