From this collection of repurposed goods, packs including lunch bags, pencil cases and drawstring bags, are made up by Capitec and then donated to schools and children. Other items include planter boxes that have been used by schools to show their children how to replant as well as how to look after and grow plants in boxes. All are available for purchase by the Capitec staff too.
Daisy Odendaal, Portfolio Manager for Capitec’s Digital Channels & Payments sums up the efforts perfectly, “I love that we took something that’s old and previously used and are now turning it into something with a new purpose. We are being kind to the environment, kind to our communities, and I think that really represents what Capitec is all about.”
Recycling is important and we all have a role to play. So is lending a hand to communities in need when we can. Thank you Capitec for being the change, making a difference, and promoting a new way.
