As part of Glovo Cares, couriers visited the Neglected Child and Orphanage Foundation to make donations and spend time with the children.
This initiative highlights Glovo’s commitment to making a positive impact on the communities it serves.
“Our couriers are not just delivery personnel; they are community members who care deeply about making a difference and through Glovo Cares, we aim to foster this,” remarked Brendon Njoroge, Head of Operations for Glovo Uganda.
