Liberty is committed to supporting development in South Africa and Africa. We believe that our Corporate Social Investment (CSI) initiatives should contribute to building the thriving economy that is vital to our collective destiny, and which will light the way to financial prosperity for generations of South Africans and Africans.
Liberty's Focus areas
Liberty’s CSI mandate is shaped around the wider socio-economic needs of South Africa’s national development agenda and the critical need that exists in developing communities, for mathematics and science programmes. Our main goal is to grow the pool of women and men who are able to succeed in careers that require mathematics and science education, such as the financial services industry.
By increasing the general level of basic financial education, we enable the public to make better financial life choices, and thereby contribute to decreasing the divide between rich and poor. To date, our CSI initiatives have had a positive, measurable impact on levels of education, empowering individuals to be self-sufficient and to play more constructive roles in society.
Education
Skills development is vital for economic growth and the alleviation of poverty. South Africans need to be educated and equipped with appropriate skills to exploit the industrial and technological challenges and opportunities that are offered locally, as well as internationally. For this reason, education is a focus of Liberty’s CSI mandate.
