SustainaBiz Consulting Donates Blankets to Mantshwabisi Primary School

SustainaBiz Consulting,? a Botswana based BQA accredited ESG and Sustainability Management training and advisory company (offering HRDC recognised courses) recently demonstrated its commitment to community development. On Thursday, July 4th, we? donated 50 blankets to Mantshwabisi Primary School in Kweneng District. Mantshwabisi Primary School has? boarding hostels which house students? from the neighboring Remote Areas Dweller Settlements(RADS). The donation event saw the participation of the School Head, Deputy School Head, school committee members, Head of Departments, teachers, and a vibrant gathering of students, all expressing their gratitude for this generous gesture.

Our blanket donation is a testament to SustainaBiz Consulting's alignment with the National Mindset Change Campaign, an initiative aimed at promoting positive thinking and inspiring Batswana to pursue innovation and excellence in various fields. Our approach is not just about giving back, but also about driving a transformative shift in attitudes and perspectives, encouraging a high-performance culture and a sense of ownership, responsibility, and empowerment among all citizens.

Botswana is paving the way for sustainable growth, where Corporate Social Investment is not only a strategic requirement but also a moral obligation demonstrating private sector - government cooperation in developing communities; indeed confirming the adage "government cannot drive development alone".? This initiative aligns perfectly with our dedication to our? sustainability and social impact values. Our focus on social impact extends beyond the walls of our business, reaching out to uplift the local community too. It's important to note that SustainaBiz Consulting is also the driving force behind the upcoming Botswana Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) Summit 2024 which will be held on 24-25 July. This commitment to creating? social equity goes hand-in-hand with our support for education, a cornerstone of a thriving and inclusive society, and well-being in the communities where we? operate.?

The blankets will provide much-needed warmth and comfort to the students, especially during the colder months, ensuring that they can focus on their studies without the distraction of the harsh weather conditions. “We are happy to have met? Mantshwabisi Primary School and its students at their point of need,” said Oarabile Lefadola, ESG Advisor and Trainer. “At SustainaBiz, we believe that contributing to the welfare of our communities is an integral part of our mission. This donation is a reflection of our dedication to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for all.” SustainaBiz Consulting recognizes the importance of strong ESG practices for businesses of all sizes. Our expertise extends beyond charitable endeavors, offering valuable training programs such as Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), and Gender Equity & Social Inclusion. These programs empower organizations to track the impact of their initiatives, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively and measurable progress is achieved.

When receiving the donation, Mantshwabisi Primary School Head, Ms Nelly Tautona, made the following remarks, "On behalf of Mantshwabisi Primary School staff, learners, PTA and the whole community, I am eternally grateful for the generous gesture that you extended towards us. Your donation comes at a very opportune time when it is needed most as the weather is not favourable at all due to extreme cold. Most of our learners come from low income families and these blankets will be of great assistance to them. May God pour His abundant blessings upon you as you continue to assist others who face similar circumstances.".

By combining our philanthropic efforts with professional services, SustainaBiz Consulting is taking a holistic approach to building a better future for Botswana. We hope that the dedication to social responsibility serves as a powerful example for other businesses to emulate. The significance of incorporating social and environmental responsibility into corporate plans is highly encouraged for positive effects by enterprises in Botswana.
