Project stronger than covid-19. Helping People Thrive - Step 2

 We all need help sometimes. The project stronger than Covid-19 is here to help if you or someone you know needs food assistance. 

We are providing food and other support to help people thrive today.

Food is the foundation for a happy, healthy life.

Hunger can be found everywhere – often where you least expect it. 

We are serving many people who have lost their jobs and are facing food insecurity for the first time. More than 80 percent of our community we have visited report never needing food assistance before this. And families who were already vulnerable have found themselves in dire need.

We’re dreaming to distributing more than 2 million banks of nutritious food weekly across the region. 

Please help us to make our dream come true!

Online goods auction yields Kz 71 million

 The General Tax Administration (AGT) raised 71 million kwanzas, with the online auction of 139 lots of various goods, held on July 12.

AGT's forecasts indicated that 29 million kwanzas would be collected for the State coffers.

More than a thousand taxpayers competed for "online purchases", whose market had computer, hospital, sports, industrial and automotive equipment, cosmetics, toys, beverages, clothing.

Construction materials, three-phase industrial engines, and household appliances were also included in the batch of goods auctioned online.

According to a note from AGT to which Angop had access, the goods sold were long ago in storage at the Customs Logistic Center of Kilometer 33, in Luanda.

With this auction, AGT "got rid" of those goods and started returning the containers to the shipping agents.
