“Creating a positive impact on more than 10 million people
globally, through our partnership with Project C.U.R.E. is
something we are incredibly proud of,” said Suzy Retallack,
Newmont’s Chief Safety and Sustainability Officer. “For nearly
two decades, our partnership has helped deliver support to host
communities near our operations and around the world. We look
forward to continuing to leverage our combined global reach to make
a strong impact where it is needed most.”
Since 2005, Newmont has partnered with Project C.U.R.E. to
distribute more than $42 million worth of much-needed medical
supplies and equipment through multiple sponsorship initiatives.
Highlights of the partnership include:
- Funding 108 shipping containers of medical equipment to 36
countries.
- Impacting more than two million patients through Newmont’s
support of the C.U.R.E. Cargo program.
- Training more than 440 medical professionals, through the
C.U.R.E. College program, in resource-limited environments to
reduce neonatal and maternity morbidity and mortality.
- Contributing $5 million to support humanitarian efforts
relating to the ongoing war in Ukraine, providing direct support to
Project C.U.R.E., the American Red Cross and International Medical
Corps.
- Delivering 164 C.U.R.E. kits – suitcase-sized, pre-packed kits
of essential medical supplies – through Newmont employees to
healthcare facilities in Ethiopia, Ghana, Indonesia, Mexico,
Nicaragua, Peru and Suriname.
“We are proud of our partnership with the team at Newmont. For
nearly two decades, we have worked together to save lives and
strengthen the healthcare infrastructure for millions of people,”
said Dr. Douglas Jackson, President and CEO of Project
C.U.R.E. “In countries like Ghana and Suriname and now Mexico,
Guatemala and others, we have established a figurative gold
standard for corporate social responsibility and making our
communities healthier, happier and more hopeful.”
Also, as part of Newmont’s partnership, employees around the
world participate in myriad volunteer opportunities – logging
hundreds of hours of time and service helping sort supplies at the
Project C.U.R.E. warehouse, packing and unloading containers, and
carrying medical kits to communities near Newmont operations.
