We seek to contribute to long-term social and economic development in the communities which we are a part of. By doing this, we do not see sponsorship as the fulfilment of a social aspiration, but rather we promote partnerships that create sustainable values and meaningful and enduring solutions to social problems through a mutual framework of give and take.

Holistic assistance

PC-WARE has lent support to the Soweto Kliptown Youth kindergarten since 2005. We have made it possible for 20 children aged between three and six to be educated through to graduation from high school. Right from kindergarten, "our" children are taught by a qualified teacher, paid by us, who gives them the best possible head start for school. Once they start school, we provide meals, books, teaching materials and school uniforms.

We monitor the children's development through regular reports and can therefore respond quickly and easily to their special needs.

A matter of the heart

Our employees see this project as a personal duty. Employees from our branch office in Johannesburg regularly visit the children in their own environment, enquire about their progress and the youngsters' needs so that they can help directly if required. Employees from all the other subsidiaries organise regular internal fundraising events to support urgent work such as renovating the sanitary installations, repairing the roof or buying new beds. This allows both sides to gain an immediate insight into the other's world - for a lifetime.
