Disasters and episodes of adversity give way to collective social and economic suffering , more so when it impacts the activities of the agricultural value chain .

With this reality in mind , the Senwes Group of companies is uniting the agricultural value chain in a concerted effort to provide emergency relief to communities affected by disruptive events . As the name suggests , the project was developed in such a way as to allow for multiple relief initiatives to reside under the relief banner .
These disruptive events may vary in nature , from humanitarian crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic , to natural disasters , animal disease outbreaks and acts of unrest and instability .
Born out of the need to help ensure food security amidst the disrupted economic activities due to the lockdown as a result of the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 , the initiative has grown to include :
• Humanitarian relief
• Flood relief
• Fire relief
• Drought relief
* The different colours in the AVC Relief Umbrella logo represent the multiple relief initiatives , namely humanitarian relief ( black ), flood relief ( blue ), fire relief ( red ), drought relief ( yellow ) and Senwes-specific initiatives ( green ).
