Datacentrix has reinforced its ongoing commitment to local education and skills development through a series of recent corporate social investment (CSI) initiatives supporting schools in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.
Supporting learners with special needs
In Mabopane, Tshwane West, Datacentrix provided 10 notebooks to Bafeti Special School, an intermediate-phase institution serving learners with special educational needs. The devices will enhance digital learning and provide critical classroom support.
The company also contributed materials valued at over R500 000 to the Winnie Madikizela Mandela School in Soweto. The donation includes infrastructure that will be used as salon cubicles for the school’s hair salon training programme or repurposed for its woodworking programme.
Established in 1975, the school now supports approximately 400 learners with intellectual disabilities and offers practical skills training in areas such as woodwork, baking, hair salon services, computer skills and arts and crafts. Datacentrix’s contribution strengthens its focus on equipping learners with workplace-relevant skills.
