740

ECD centres in 9 provinces

We support 740 ECD centres, benefiting over 100,000 individuals across nine provinces with The Unlimited Child and Do More Foundation. We also fund the distribution of Do More Instant Breakfast Porridge to vulnerable centres within the Ackermans Ububele Schools network.

13000

Trees planted, in our under-resourced schooling communities across the Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, Free State, and Eastern Cape

We’ve partnered with Food & Trees for Africa (FTFA) since 2016 in support of their Trees for All programme across South Africa. This programme educates people, offsets carbon emissions and creates temporary jobs for those who are unemployed.

150000

Food parcels distributed to local disaster relief efforts

Our employee-volunteerism approach and methodology enable Ackermans and its employees to participate in structured programs to empower action and leverage personal interest, time, skills, and talents to strengthen community engagement and even the social and economic infrastructure of non-profit causes. Through enabling and empowering our Phadimas, we continue to build our sense of purpose, create a sense of belonging and pride, and strengthen our Phadimas' connection to our values.

Our Partners

We’ve invested in three key strategic partners across our brands and our corporate organisation. These partners lead our giving portfolio based on total-company investment and impact programming.
