As part of our commitment towards making Dell a Great Place
to Work, each member of the South African team receives
a monthly spoiler. These spoilers include frozen yoghurt to
celebrate summer, a warm cup of soup during winter and a
“Grow your Own Tree” pack for World Environment Day.
In addition, and in honour of National Women’s Day, the ladies
at Dell South Africa were treated to tea and cake, as well as a
hand-crafted gift which was made by a team of women who
have made it their mission to uplift their communities from its
surrounding poverty and hopelessness to a sense of renewed
hope and pride. Suffice it to say that Dell South Africa is proud
to be associated with such an uplifting and community-
focused initiative.
Connected
Communities
Socio-Economic Development (SED) is the mechanism
we use to give back to the societies in which we operate
and live. The main objective of our initiatives is to provide
previously disadvantaged individuals with the means of
becoming economically active, focusing on initiatives aimed at
establishing support and upliftment in order to create:
Dell Powering the Possible
Dell SA has collaborated with the global
Dell Powering the Possible program which
is committed to helping young people
achieve their dreams. Through our learning
programs, we place state-of-the-art Dell
technology into communities and work
with non-profit organisations to teach
technology skills. By providing the latest
technology and financial support Dell
is helping young people discover new
possibilities, change their lives and unleash
their true potential. Through our various
SED initiatives, as well as our Dell Powering
the Possible program, we hope to assist
organisations on the pathway towards
improving and sustaining the lives of the
communities they serve.
• Healthy communities: Basic needs of people, e.g. nutrition
and healthcare (focus on children and the disabled).
• Literate communities: Quality education, particularly in
mathematics, science and basic literacy.
• Connected communities: Access to technology and
web-based communities for areas with limited access to
technology.
Thanks to our commitment towards improving social
conditions within South Africa, Dell has exceeded our
requirement for expenditure on SED for the past six years.
