Corporate Social Responsibility
Skills Development is a vital part of MCi’s business continuity strategy, ensuring the ongoing growth of our employees’ capabilities while contributing to the communities in which we operate through initiatives such as learnerships, to create opportunities that empower individuals and strengthen the ICT skills base.
Our Corporate and Social Responsibility includes several charities to uplift underprivileged and previously disadvantaged communities.
MCi CURRENTLY SUPPORTS THE FOLLOWING ORGANISATIONS:

SANTA SHOEBOX PROJECT
The Santa Shoebox Project collects and distributes gifts at Christmas time to underprivileged children throughout South Africa and Namibia. The Santa Shoebox Project originated in Cape Town and has grown in leaps and bounds, with the number of Santa Shoeboxes growing from a humble 180 boxes in 2006 to a record 118 274 in 2013. The boxes are distributed to more than 1000 recipient facilities, through more than 60 satellites around South Africa and Namibia.

COTLANDS
Cotlands initiates and facilitates innovative, play-based early learning opportunities for young children. Children are provided access to toy library and playgroup programmes aimed at improving school readiness. The goal is to ensure that children have the required skills to excel when entering formal schooling and to develop holistically for their future success.
