Home Social Responsibility

Value Group's Social Responsibility Program

Ikageng Shelter for Boys

A home for abandoned and orphaned boys currently houses 18 boys. Value Logistic’s involvement with this home started in 2004 when we became aware of the dire conditions the boys were living in. The boys were kitted out with shoes and clothing and taken on a December seaside holiday to the South Coast which included educational visits to Ushaka Marine world and the crocodile and snake parks.

In 2005 a complete refurbishment of the home was funded by Value which included the upgrading and expansion of ablution blocks as well as a complete facelift of the inside and outside of the home. IQ and aptitude tests were also funded and co-ordinated by us so that children could be placed in appropriate learning institutions.

In September 2006 an extension of 75 square metres was added onto the shelter which serves as a general purpose hall and has created a place where the boys can enjoy meals, do their homework and watch television together seated for the first time. The entire project was funded by Value Logistics.

In 2008 bicycles were purchased for all children to save them hours of walking to and from school.

Value intends building long-term relationships with these young men, by providing learner ships and apprenticeships, on completion of their schooling.

Ongoing support is offered as and when required.

Khanya Kyaha

A home for raped, previously prostituted and destitute girls which was established in February 2007. They required a fridge, TV and electronic goods. These were paid for and delivered to them by Value Logistics.

The girls of Khanya Kyaha were also beneficiaries of bicycles .

Argus Pick and pay Cycle Tour

A registered charity approached us to assist with the provision of vehicles which included cars, busses and 1 to 4 Ton vehicles. Value decided to donate the use of these vehicles to the Argus. The donation of the vehicles ensured that the Argus had additional funds to distribute among their charities. The donations of vehicles exceeded R 250 000.00 and was repeated in 2007 and 2007.
