We are fully aware of our responsibility of contributing
to the communities that surrounds us. In a country
in which sections of the community are plagued
by a lack of education, extreme poverty and ill-health,
we accept it as our duty to help address these
issues among disadvantaged communities and sectors
of the community often forgotten.
Our vision is to become a key player in community
upliftment by participating in development programmes
that are empowering and sustainable. We aim to
run practical and effective outreach projects,
which benefit the people of South Africa, changing
their lives for the better and contributing directly
to sustainable economic and social development
of the country. We endeavour to ensure that our
projects result in empowerment of people and that
they are sustainable.
The existence of the digital divide means that
a company such as Expectra/TeleMasters has a moral
obligation to use the funds generated from its
revenue to assist in addressing social backlogs.
The needs of the country are so great that we
cannot possibly meet every request on our social
purse. It is for this reason that we decide on
one cause for a year and solely focus on this
cause with undivided attention and assistance.
Expectra therefore believes
that our Social Responsibility Program is flexible
enough to review and adjust annually to suit the
needs of the cause we attend to. We mainly aim
at assisting schools from disadvantaged communities
and evaluate their needs on an individual basis
to align our Social Responsibility Program accordingly.
For
2007 we decided to focus on two causes, namely
the Downs
Syndrome Association of Tswane and
the Centurion
SPCA. We hope that our support
will make a difference and that we would inspire
more to actively participate and reach out.
