Corporate Social Investment

At Letshego, we are responsive  to the needs of the communities in which we operate and those of the nation at large, by engaging in high quality, cost effective, sustainable, need based community activities through new and long term partnerships.

We streamline our social investments efforts for maximum benefit to the intended recipients and the company. This enables us to maintain a profitable business environment while at the same time enhancing our reputation and the well being of the communities in which we operate, as well as the country in general. Priority is given to programmes and events which are in line with our values.

At the beginning of each year, every branch, including satellites, identifies different needs in their regions and make proposals for funding of such activities. The proposals are appraised by the CSI committee and qualifying projects are funded accordingly. All approved projects are monitored and regular reports submitted to the CSI committee to ensure appropriate use of funds and accountability by all stakeholders involved.

Our Social Investment program is biased towards non-profit organizations and institutions working towards the development and empowerment of members of the disadvantaged community such as orphans. However, emphasis is also placed on needy communities’ projects aimed at touching the lives of many people such as:

• Entrepreneurship and Small Business 
• Development Sport development
• Cultural development
• Environment
• Welfare and Poverty Alleviation
• Employee Involvement (volunteer work in  any of the above focus areas
• Music and Art

In order to ensure the maximum effectiveness of its funding at all levels, Letshego adheres to a set of guidelines, criteria in funding decision-making and controls.
