Carrus CaresWe value relationships with all our stakeholders, including the communities from whom we attract our team members . With this in mind, we are of the view that a responsible corporate citizen has a duty to be involved in the community.
Alexandra Bread Distribution
This initiative distributes bread to the destitute within Alexandra township. We provide a delivery vehicle and employ a driver who collects bread from Sunbake Bakery, one of our longstanding clients and delivers it to a hungry community in Alexandra. The driver and vehicle are also available to transport frail community members to the local clinic. We decided to support this initiative because it makes a difference to people at grass root level as is evidenced by the photograph.
Makeeda Phekani
We pride ourselves on our ability to spot and support the development of talent. In Makeeda Phekani, we are privileged to support one of the leading young gymnasts in our country. Makeeda Phekani is a member of the prestigious Johannesburg Gymnastics Centre and is currently preparing for the Youth Olympics to be held in Singapore in 2010. She has represented both her club and South Africa at various international gymnastic events thus far including top performances in Australia 2006, England 2007 and Egypt 2009. Makeeda’s humility coupled with a fierce determination to achieve success forms a comfortable synergy with the Carrus Ethos.
Gauteng Blind Cricketers
We donated cricket equipment to the Pub to Pub organizers who held a charity walk for the Gauteng Blind Cricketers. Some of the blind cricketers joined us on the walk and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. They competed in the annual Provincial Tournament which was held in Pretoria at the beginning of April.
Salvation Army Delivery Vehicle
We supply a tracking device for the Salvation Army’s delivery vehicle, which enables the organization to be more effective and efficient in the execution of their important work. |
