We are aware that we are part of a broader community and through our Corporate Social Investment initiatives we aim to build and support the resilience of the communities in which we operate while creating shared value for our stakeholders.
Communities are the foundation of our businesses success. They are our customers, suppliers, employees and ultimately our partners. We run empowerment and community development projects to enable economic participation. It’s more than just a responsibility for Shoprite; it’s a way of being, a constant and consistent #ActForChange to bring about meaningful change in local communities.
WE FIGHT HUNGER by providing effective and sustainable solutions to address short, medium and long-term food scarcity needs across Nigeria;
WE FIGHT HUNGER
The Shoprite Group has a robust programme in place to address the food security challenges faced by many people across the continent on a daily basis:
- We support and develop sustainable food farming through skills transfer and training to alleviate hunger in communities and to generate much-needed income for individuals and organisations in need
- We work to improve the living condition of children and senior citizens at the local centres we support nationwide
- We donate surplus food from all of our stores to hundreds of local non-profit organisations collectively feeding thousands of hungry people daily.
WE invest in EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT by promoting food and nutritional security at this level of education, and supporting practitioner training and critical infrastructure upgrades;
WE invest in EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT
Early childhood development is globally recognized as the most powerful investment in human capital that a country can make. Children learn almost everything from people and their environment. Our interventions aim to promote stimulating, loving and appropriate interactions to ensure a solid foundation for healthy development, relationships and future learning:
- We provide support by funding interventions to combat food insecurity
- We train development practitioners and equip them with educational resources.
- We fund critical infrastructure upgrades to ensure a safe space for children to learn and play.
