AfriSam, a leading construction materials company, has reaffirmed its dedication to the sustainable development of the communities surrounding its operations with the completion of the Verulam Community Hall.
The initiative not only showcases AfriSam’s commitment to social responsibility but also highlights its support for local small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs) and the creation of employment opportunities for community members.
The Verulam Community Hall, constructed by a local SMME, stands as a testament to AfriSam’s ongoing efforts to uplift and empower the communities in which it operates. The hall, which has been thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of the community, features a fully equipped kitchen and modern ablution facilities, ensuring a comfortable and functional space for various community activities.
In line with AfriSam’s commitment to environmental sustainability, the Verulam Community Hall incorporates several eco-friendly features. A water tank has been installed to collect rainwater, promoting water conservation and reducing reliance on municipal resources. Additionally, the hall’s surroundings have been enhanced with the installation of paving, providing a safe and accessible area for community members, and a dedicated parking area has been provided to accommodate visitors.
By engaging a local SMME for the construction of the Verulam Community Hall, AfriSam has not only contributed to the economic growth of the community but has also fostered skills development and job creation. The project has provided employment opportunities for local community members, empowering them to contribute to the development of their own community and improve their livelihoods.
Commenting on the completion of the Verulam Community Hall, AfriSam’s Community Development Professional, Senzi Mabaso, states, “We are proud to have partnered with a local SMME for this project, as it aligns with our commitment to supporting local businesses and uplifting the communities in which we operate. The Verulam Community Hall will serve as a hub for various community activities, fostering social cohesion and providing a space for personal and collective growth.”
AfriSam remains dedicated to its sustainable development initiatives, continuously seeking opportunities to make a positive impact on the communities it serves. The completion of the Verulam Community Hall is a testament to AfriSam’s commitment to creating concrete possibilities for all.
