The Keiskamma Trust and BASA Awards 2012
Being a 100% woman-owned company with a staff compliment predominantly made up of hard-working mothers, we decided that a not-for-profit organisation which focused on the needs of children would be appropriate. All we can say is wow…it was quite hard and a really tough job to choose from the many worthy applications that we received. But we decided that in order for our investment to make a meaningful difference in the lives of underprivileged children we needed to choose an organisation that had a clearly defined goal but that also had achieved some measurable results.
Using this set of criteria it was then relatively easy to make the final decision and this is how we decided on The Keiskamma Trust which is a truly unique South African not-for-profit organisation.
Dedicated to the holistic care of the communities that live in the area alongside the Keiskamma River; they combine health, art, music and educational initiatives in order to fight against poverty and HIV/AIDS.
We are proud to have been able to assist them to make a difference (even a small one) in the lives of the most vulnerable.
