Social initiative

A Picnic at Westdene Dam

MultiChoice’s Corporate Social Investment is focussed in three areas - Education, skills development and orphaned and vulnerable children. Their philosophy is to partner with communities and make a long-term and sustainable difference.

 

MultiChoice takes their social responsibility a step further by involving employees at MultiChoice on a very personal level. Each department within Multichoice nominates a social initiative and gets involved with raising funds, giving of their own time and helping to make a difference. I was fortunate to be involved in a small way at a picnic hosted by MultiChoice for children from a Haven in Westdene. Learning Channel donated learning material to the children.

CSR – The Corporate contribution to a society’s sustainable development goals.

CSI – A Company’s financial and non-cash contributions to disadvantaged communities and individuals for the purpose of social upliftment and welfare.

Learning Channel actively seeks partnerships with Companies who wish to focus their CSI-spend on improving education in South Africa. In our experience, very often the schools that require funding the most have access to very little. It is these schools that we assist and encourage to secure long-term sponsors – to assist with educational, sports and development funding as well as mentoring and support.

Through these partnerships, Learning Channel has been able to provide many learners and teachers with valuable resource material and we are pleased to say that the results have been excellent.

We are very proud of our association and partnership with these Companies who invest time and money in the future of our youths and their education.
