He highlighted that the donation will primarily go towards temporary shelters and rebuilding efforts for those whose homes were severely damaged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe money will be used to purchase tents for families in need and provide roofing materials for homes that suffered extensive damage. Additionally, the Red Cross will secure food and other essential supplies to assist those affected,\u201d said Nyamane.<\/p>\n<p>He acknowledged that while the donation may not cover all needs, it is a step towards alleviating the hardships faced by many Emaswati. Nyamane also urged other corporate entities to step forward and contribute to relief efforts.<\/p>\n<p><b>Red Cross Expresses Gratitude<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In response, BERCS President Bongani Masuku expressed gratitude for ESA\u2019s continued support, noting the long-standing partnership between the two organizations. He highlighted that ESA had previously donated over E1 million to Red Cross to support housing reconstruction projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cESA has been a crucial partner in our humanitarian initiatives.
