We want to start by saying thank you. Giving back is a team effort and we’re only able to do what we do each year because of our valued clients and our hardworking team. Making time to help others isn’t easy – but we believe everyone doing their bit matters.
So as we welcome in 2019, it’s important that we look at how Because, as a growing global agency, can make a positive change in our community and around the world. Whether it’s donating time or money to a charity, or changing our behaviour for the benefit of the planet; ensuring we have a CSR plan that reflects our values as a business is crucial.
Here’s our plan for the year ahead:
1. Helping those in need
To date, our Educare Centre programme has improved the lives of more than 500 children in South Africa. In January, we’ll be starting to build Ulwazi, our fifth Educare Centre, with a goal to build a staggering 10 centres. Like our previous centres, Ulwazi will help around 120 children and their families every day, as each centre we build provides childcare services, help with schoolwork, access to computers, a library and a venue for the local communities to meet.
