Beneficiary Communities

Our beneficiary communities are located in some of the most underdeveloped regions of South Africa. They range from urban through to rural settlements with vast distances between each location. This creates an opportunity for organisations such as SIOC-CDT to contribute towards sustainable development that will ultimately result in the upliftment of these communities.

Communities we serve

Our Community Development Strategy

We are inclusive and transparent in decision-making and as such we believe in taking our stakeholders along when making critical decisions. In consultation with the beneficiary communities and all stakeholders, it was decided that the focus areas should be education and skills development, enterprise development and social welfare. This is to ensure that all community development projects provide sustainable socio-economic value.
