social involvement
We’re not just talk!
Cell C is about people. While our network keeps people talking we are also involved in the lives of South Africans everyday through our social responsibility programmes and sponsorships of
sports and entertainment events.
It is for this reason that most of our social responsibility investment focuses mainly on education-related projects with vulnerable children. But the commitment doesn't end there -
although education is a key theme throughout much of the investment we make in the country, education that can make a difference is what is important to us.
We are currently involved in the following programmes:
Take a girl child to work day
Take a Girl Child to Work Day was South Africa's most public and collaborative initiative focused on the girl child. It involves everyone in South Africa - government, business, celebrities
and ordinary men, women, girls and boys.
In May 2003, adults across South Africa took girl children between the ages of 14 and 18 with them to their place of work. This was a huge success and, in May 2004, this was repeated, with
people taking their own daughters or other young relatives or friends to work with them.
The theme in 2004 was Today's Dreams, Tomorrow's Reality. To realise one's dreams, one has to be confident and bold enough to face life's challenges head on - one has to be differentiated
from the rest of the pack and yet be diligent.
These attributes resonate with Cell C's brand values of choice and individuality and connect well with the take a girl child to work day initiative - a conduit through which girl children
can build dreams, aspirations and self-esteem.
