Networks Unlimited Africa Commits To SA Education.
“Businesses in South Africa need to have some positive about education and commit themselves to playing their responsibility in educating children in South Africa – the onus cannot lie only on the state.”
This was the message from Anton Jacobsz, the Chief Executive Officer of Networks Unlimited Africa, commenting after the company’s recent fifth annual corporate charity golf day, where the two beneficiaries of the event were once again based in the education space, namely The Love Trust and Literacy for Life.
Networks Unlimited Africa as a leading value-added distributor within the Sub-Saharan Africa market, has long been a supporter of education, both via its keenly-anticipated golf event, as well as via the company’s internal structures.
The Love Trust, founded in 2009, is a South African non-profit educational organisation which update, has reached over 9,000 primary and secondary beneficiaries in disadvantaged communities. It is also the 53% broad-based black economic empowerment (B-BBEE) partner of Networks Unlimited Africa, in a partnership arrangement which allows Networks Unlimited Africa to support its outreach efforts to change the lives of vulnerable children through real practical and educational support.
Literacy for Life is a non-profit company which was established in November 2014 to help cash-strapped South African schools achieve literacy and communication skills. Funding for government schools remain a challenge and funding in under-privileged schools even more so. In many instances, teachers are taking it upon themselves to spend their own money on aids or tools to assist children to be able to learn to read or write or experience the opportunity to express themselves through art.
Sponsors of the Networks Unlimited Africa 2019 corporate charity golf day included business partners such as Attivo Networks, Barnard Inc Attorneys, Cofense, Corporate Traveller, data sciences corporation, EOH, F5 Networks, Fortinet, icomm intelligent communications, Leopardsong Manor, Landynamix, Mellanox, NETSCOUT Arbor, ProLabs, Rubrik, Röhlig-Grindrod, Tintri by DDN, VNO Systems, NEC/XON, 1.618 Financial Services.
“On behalf of Networks Unlimited team, we thank our generous sponsors for their contribution that will benefit the two organisations, Love Trust and Literacy for life. With the money raised from all the sponsors, we will help nurture future generations of leaders through the delivery of excellent Christian education to vulnerable children in disadvantaged communities, focus on early childhood development and offer support to preschools and crèches in communities of need,” concluded Jacobsz.
