South Africa faces a severe education crisis, characterized by a stark disparity in resource allocation, infrastructure, and quality of education. Despite significant government and corporate expenditure, the desired outcomes are often elusive. 

Global Empower, through its parent company Edu Empower SA, offers a comprehensive Strategic Education Corporate Social Responsibility (CSI) Planning service designed to bridge the gap between disadvantaged schools and organizations specializing in education-focused CSI initiatives. Our service is grounded in the belief that genuine, measurable impact can be achieved when the needs of underserved schools are aligned with the strategic goals of supporting organizations. We emphasize win-win strategies that deliver real value to both the educational institutions and the CSI organizations.

Why Businesses Need Strategic Education CSI Planning

Many businesses recognize the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and choose to focus their efforts on education. While well-intentioned, these efforts often lack strategic direction and measurable impact. This is where strategic education CSI planning comes in. It provides a structured approach to ensure that CSR initiatives in education align with business objectives, maximize social impact, and deliver a strong return on investment.

Our Approach

At the core of our service lies a comprehensive needs assessment process. This meticulous evaluation involves a deep dive into the challenges faced by schools, encompassing infrastructure, resource scarcity, and educational aspirations. Simultaneously, we delve into the CSR priorities and desired outcomes of supporting organizations. This holistic understanding allows us to identify areas of synergy and create mutually beneficial partnerships.
