Busch Donated Computers to NGOs in South Africa

Busch Netherlands, a subsidiary of the Busch Group, has donated a large number of computers to charitable organizations that care for children, young people and the elderly in the Johannesburg region of South Africa. The donation was supplemented by PCs from Busch Spain.

30 desktop computers, 35 monitors, 27 mice, 12 keyboards, 25 monitor cables, 11 laptops, 6 docking stations and 4 projectors were sent from the Netherlands to South Africa. Busch Spain donated a further five desktops. Busch South Africa took over the distribution of the equipment in Mathibestad, a city in the district of Bojanala in the northwestern province of South Africa. Mathibestad is 1.5 hours north of Johannesburg, where the head office of Busch South African is located.

"Busch Netherlands is proud that our donation could make such a meaningful impact, thanks to the outstanding support of Busch South Africa. They inspected all incoming goods, provided adapters for the local power grid, and coordinated everything with partners like Seego Foundation. Together, this initiative became a success beyond what we could have hoped for," says Arjan Stolk, General Manager of Busch Netherlands.

The recipients of the computer donations are a daycare center for children, an orphanage, a woman"s empowerment group, a retirement home, two schools and the Seego Foundation. This South African charity organization uses the equipment for an early childhood development center called Covenant Garden Estate (CGE), which was able to expand its offering thanks to the donation.

Covenant Garden Estate uses the computers to help children learn to count and read. In addition, young adults who are either studying at university or are unemployed now have the opportunity to complete assignments or learn basic computer skills, such as working with Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, in order to further develop their professional careers.

Two more computers and a laptop will be used to create a database of unemployed people, which Busch South Africa will rely on when filling new positions to drive the development of the local community.

On the five computers received by the daycare center, the children will be trained in computer skills. The CEO of Corinthians NPO, Mlungisi Jack Msibi, emphasizes: "With these new desktops, we can expand access to technology for our students, enabling them to engage in hands-on learning experiences that enhance their skills in coding, robotics, and STEM education. These tools are essential in preparing our learners for future careers in the digital age, and the support of the Busch Group helps us take a vital step toward achieving that goal."

The other organizations that have received devices will mainly use them for administrative purposes.

With the computer donations, the Busch Group once again demonstrates its social commitment across countries and continents.
