Giving back to the community is one of the most fulfilling aspects of being a socially responsible company. At Big Box Containers, we strongly believe in using our resources to make a positive impact on the world around us. With this in mind, one very special school caught our eye…
Laerskool Generaal Nicolaas Smit is a primary school located in an impoverished area in Pretoria. Vice-Principal, Marius Lubbe explained that the school serves children from low-income families who often struggle with food insecurity and lack access to basic necessities. Recognising the need within their community, the school has set up a feeding program that provides a balanced and deliciously cooked meal to over 400 students every day. For most of them, it’s the only meal they get that day.
However, due to limited resources and inadequate storage facilities, the school has been facing challenges with storing the various donations it receives for its outreach program. As part of our Big Box commitment to being socially responsible, we sponsored a non-running refrigerated container to Laerskool Generaal Nicolaas Smit to help them with their efforts.
Not only does this container allow the school to expand its reach and provide meals for more children in need, but it also serves as a storage facility where it can store other necessities that are distributed to many families in need, some as far as Kameeldrift, located 20 km north east of Pretoria CBD.
It brings us immense joy to support such initiatives that directly benefit those in need. At Big Box Containers, we firmly believe that investing in education and providing basic necessities like nutritious meals can make a significant difference in shaping young minds and creating a better future for society as a whole.
We are honoured to partner with Laerskool Generaal Nicolaas Smit and contribute to their community outreach and feeding program. We hope that our sponsorship will not only provide practical solutions but also inspire others to join us in making a positive impact in our communities. Let’s work together towards building a better, more compassionate world for all.
