Indlela community helpers

team work makes a dream work

Partnering with Indlela corporate donors and their staff not only give the sense of fulfillment that flows from helping a worthy cause, but Indlela's status as a registered NPO means that all donations of finance, time and other resources count towards your company's BBBEE objectives and CSI scores.

Where requested, Indlela will endeavour to raise the public profile of donor companies' community involvement via local newspapers and our website, including a hyperlink to theirs.

Indlela offers a number of donor options, including:

Financial support for running costs, which include daily consumables, staff salaries, vehicle costs, etc. (full breakdown available on request).
Donations of consumables used in each of the projects - e.g. food, baby toiletries, nappies, paint, etc.
Services rendered at reduced cost or pro bono - e.g. professional skills, plumbing, electrical, building
Our corporate school painting days have proven very successful for team-building and enable the company to claim BBBEE points for the time donated.
There are a variety of opportunities for volunteer involvement in each of Indlela’s projects, providing the personal satisfaction of helping those in need.

corporate school painting days are great team builders

Indlela’s Life Skills programme aims to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS by reducing risk-taking behaviour among young people in the north Durban community and encouraging them to make wise life choices.

Research shows that the physical environment impacts the learning experience and we have found that learners and educators have been particularly encouraged in those schools where we have upgraded the physical environment by painting and repairing the school buildings.

These renovations are carried out by volunteer work-parties and the camaraderie that is evident among these volunteers is proof of the mutual benefits of this activity.

Indlela offers corporate donors and individual volunteers the opportunity to partner with us in caring for our community, changing lives so that they, in turn, can change the lives of others.
