CSI Repurposing Projects

At Authentic Roots, we help corporates turn sustainability into meaningful educational impact. Through our repurpose, reuse, and recycle initiatives, companies can support Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres and schools, while reducing waste and creating jobs.

One of our projects involved repurposing African Bank’s outdated marketing banners into school pencil cases, which were then filled with stationery and donated to Winnie Mandela Primary School, a CSI beneficiary.
 

By transforming unwanted corporate materials, companies can:
 

  • Support education by providing practical resources for learners.

  • Reduce environmental impact by keeping materials out of landfills.

  • Create jobs in the informal sector, contributing to local economies.

  • Engage employees and stakeholders in meaningful sustainability initiatives.
     

Through collaboration with Authentic Roots, corporates can extend the reach of their CSI programmes, inspiring young minds, empowering educators, and create sustainable mindsets.

Together, we can make a difference!
One repurposed item, one school, one child at a time.
