What I Have Observed Over the Years Running an NGO🌟 Over the years, I've noticed some recurring issues in the field of Corporate Social Investment (CSI) and governmental social programs: 📋 CSI as a Formality: Many companies engage in CSI as a "tick the box" exercise or to benefit from tax incentives, rather than from a genuine desire to effect social change. 💔 Lack of Passion Among CSI Employees: The individuals employed to manage CSI initiatives often lack the necessary passion and drive to truly make a difference. This lack of enthusiasm can hinder the effectiveness of these programs. 🔄 Disconnect Between Founders and CSI Teams: Founders and top management are frequently unaware that their CSI teams do not share their vision or commitment to helping the less privileged. This disconnect can result in misaligned goals and sub optimal outcomes. This issue is not limited to the private sector. In government organizations such as the NYDA, many employees appear more interested in their paychecks than in serving the public. There is a noticeable absence of a servant leadership mentality, which significantly reduces the impact of these organizations. What We Need 👐 We need individuals in our society who genuinely care about the well-being of others. Leaders should be proactive, going on the ground to ensure that the resources they sponsor reach the intended recipients. It’s crucial to bring professionals with a servant-hearted approach into the space of CSI. Let’s work together to foster a culture of genuine commitment and servant leadership in CSI. By doing so, we can make a real and lasting difference in the lives of the less privileged. #CorporateSocialInvestment hashtag #ServantLeadership hashtag #NGO hashtag #SocialImpact hashtag #CommunityDevelopment 🌍💡

Here is a list of how companies can partner with NGOs to uplift previously disadvantaged youth through skills development programs and job fairs, tailored for CSI managers in Cape Town: 1. Identify and Select the Right NGO Research and find NGOs with a proven track record in youth skills development and employment initiatives. Conduct due diligence to ensure the NGO is reputable and has effective programs. 2. Establish Clear Objectives Set clear, measurable objectives for the partnership, such as the number of youths to be trained or job placements to be achieved. Align the objectives with both the company’s CSI strategy and the NGO’s mission. 3. Develop a Partnership Plan Clearly outline the roles and responsibilities of both the company and the NGO. Determine the resources your company will provide, such as funding, volunteers, facilities, or equipment. 4. Implement Skills Development Programs Work with the NGO to develop training programs tailored to the needs of the youth and the job market. Offer workshops, mentorship, and internship opportunities, and encourage employees to volunteer as mentors. 5. Organize Job Fairs Collaborate with the NGO to organize job fairs, ensuring they are well-promoted and accessible to the targeted youth. Engage other businesses to participate in the job fairs to provide a broad range of opportunities. 6. Monitor and Evaluate Implement systems to monitor and evaluate the progress of the partnership and the outcomes of the programs. Establish feedback mechanisms to continuously improve the programs based on input from participants and other stakeholders. 7. Promote Success Stories Publicize success stories and the positive impact of the partnership to inspire other companies and enhance the company’s reputation. Use social media, press releases, and company newsletters to highlight the achievements of the youth and the benefits of the partnership. 8. Long-term Commitment Build a long-term relationship with the NGO to ensure sustainable impact. Consider multi-year commitments and continuous support. Explore opportunities to scale successful programs to benefit more youth or expand to other regions. 9. Examples and Case Studies Study successful partnerships between companies and NGOs in Cape Town or other regions to understand best practices and innovative approaches. Join local business networks or forums focused on CSI to share experiences and collaborate with other companies on youth upliftment initiatives. 10. Local Context Considerations Understand the specific needs and challenges of the youth in Cape Town, particularly in previously disadvantaged communities. Ensure that programs are culturally sensitive and inclusive.

Community service has always been a personal passion of mine. Four years ago, amidst the challenges of Covid-19, Mawande Molosi founded an NGO in Stellenbosch (Uplifting Job Seekers). Our main objective is to support job seekers who lack skills and motivation. Every quarter, we organize Job Fairs on Saturdays, facilitating connections between job seekers and potential employers. Our medium term goal is to build a Career Centre in Kayamandi, Stellenbosch. What is your passion? What motivates you? Please follow our page Uplifting Job Seekers In 2024 find your passion.
