As the events surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic continue to evolve, the philanthropic arm of NYSE-listed Caterpillar, the Caterpillar Foundation, is committing over R1-million to the South African Solidarity Fund to assist the country in its response to the unprecedented health crisis. The fund aims to detect and prevent, and to support measures to flatten the curve by lowering infection rates, provide essential support and supplies to medical staff and patients, such as protective equipment and ventilators; and support those whose lives are disrupted by Covid-19 through access to food, financial resources and educational materials.
