CORPORATE SOCIAL INVESTMENT

We are guided by the principle “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fishand you feed him for a lifetime.”
Our programs are aimed at leaving a lasting impact on those we encounter.
At the core of belief is upliftmentand empowerment, through education.
Nelson Mandela once said “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.”
Our Corporate Social Investment initiatives are therefore geared towards promoting excellence in education.
We also strive to promote engineering as a profession to previously disenfranchised individuals. In a society where the engineering sector is still predominantly male dominated, we have made a commitment to support excelling black female students who seek to pursue a career in engineering.
The company offers an internship program to help young individuals kick start their career.
