As the chill of winter approaches, the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) South Africa office is gearing up for a meaningful initiative to support those in need.
EIT and the Community
At EIT, giving back to the community is firmly fixed into our core values and ethos. We recognize that our success as an institution is intertwined with the well-being of the communities we serve.
Through our educational programs and initiatives, we aim to empower individuals and equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to make a positive impact in their communities.
Giving back to the community not only strengthens social bonds but also fosters a sense of belonging and shared purpose among our staff, students, and alumni. By engaging in philanthropic efforts, we nurture a culture of compassion, empathy, and solidarity within our community.
Whether it’s through charitable events, volunteer opportunities, or outreach programs, we are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others and leaving a legacy of positive change.
Food and Blanket Drive
Starting from 1 May 2024, we are excited to announce the launch of our food and blanket drive, aimed at providing essential resources to vulnerable communities during the colder months.
This drive is not just limited to our staff members; we warmly invite our students and alumni to join us in this noble cause. Together, we can make a significant impact on the lives of those who are less fortunate.
Winter can be an especially challenging time for many individuals and families, particularly those facing financial hardships.
By providing food and blankets, we offer warmth, comfort, and nourishment to those who need it most. This initiative aligns closely with our mission to foster compassion, empathy, and solidarity within our community.
Donations can include non-perishable food items such as canned goods, rice, pasta, and other essentials. Additionally, gently used or new blankets are also greatly appreciated. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a difference in someone’s life.
In essence, whatever you donate will undoubtedly bring value to the recipient.
With the generous donations received, EIT will be channeling these resources towards supporting the homeless in our community. We will collaborate with local shelters and organizations dedicated to assisting those in need, ensuring that the donated food and blankets reach those who require them most urgently.
Through this initiative, we aim to provide warmth, comfort, and sustenance to individuals experiencing homelessness, offering them a beacon of hope during challenging times.
EIT will provide updates on our social media channels of the donations.
To donate, simply drop off your contributions at the EIT South Africa office in Midrand, starting from 1 May 2024. Let’s join hands and spread warmth and hope this winter season. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those in need. Or contact us here.
Donation boxes available in Johannesburg
At EIT, we believe in the power of engineering to transform lives and communities. Our commitment to innovation and problem-solving extends beyond the confines of our classrooms and offices. It encompasses a broader vision of social responsibility and giving back to society. Through initiatives like the Food and Blanket Drive, we embody these values and actively contribute to building a better world.
Participating in the Food and Blanket Drive is not only an opportunity to give back but also a chance to demonstrate our collective strength as a community. Together, we can show that kindness knows no bounds and that by coming together, we can create positive change.
Thank you for your generosity and compassion.
