Discovery Vitality's MoveToGive is an initiative where scheme members donate their active rewards to selected charities. In the four years since its inception, MoveToGive has donated to a number of causes, including giving over R370,000 to help people affected by the Knysna fires and donating over 42,000 sanitary packs to help empower schoolgirls in need. It also donated over 100,000 hand sanitisers and half a million litres of water to help with the water crisis in Cape Town. Now, as Covid-19 takes its toll, Discovery is allowing members to donate their rewards towards those affected by the pandemic. Dr Mosima Mabunda, Head of Wellness at Discovery Vitality, talks to BizNews founder Alec Hogg about the different ways in which Discovery is giving back. Learn more about your ad choices.
