Through this meaningful contribution, Epiroc, a leading specialist in the supply of mining machinery, equipment and integrated technologies across Southern Africa, once again demonstrates its steadfast commitment to uplifting South Africa’s underprivileged children and empowering them to build a better future. “Children represent the future and safeguarding their safety and development is a priority for us, enabling them to grow into responsible citizens who can contribute meaningfully to the country,” asserts Ziyanda Mkhaliphi, Regional Corporate & Social Responsibility Manager at Epiroc South Africa.
Project Playground was founded in 2010 by Princess Sofia of Sweden (then Sofia Hellqvist) and Frida Vesterberg, in response to the enduring inequalities and limited access to opportunities stemming from South Africa’s apartheid legacy. Project Playground is primarily based in Cape Town, with main operational centres in the townships of Langa and Gugulethu, while also maintaining a smaller affiliated branch in Stockholm, Sweden. The organisation works directly with 450 participants and reaches more than 1,700 family members. Its vision is ‘a world where every child is safe, supported, and able to realise their full potential, thereby breaking the cycle of poverty and inequality’.
