Social Responsibility

Sikhulasonke (which means growing together) is a project of the Every Nation Johannesburg Foundation. There are many people in our communities who lack the financial means to provide shelter, food, clothing, access to proper healthcare/education and other basic needs. Sikhulasonke’s mission is to lift people out of poverty and into a place where their human dignity is restored. They choose to go beyond charitable giving and place an emphasis on bringing and supporting unqualified individuals into a place where they can financially support themselves. On 5 December 2023, 47 students from the communities who successfully completed the Boston City Campus Learning Program received certificate in Business Administration (NQF2). As you can see from the pictures, the graduation ceremony was a wonderful time of celebration and exhortation. Boston City Campus donated 86 meals to Sikhulasonke, which were distributed after the graduation ceremony to 86 homeless people at the Transnet building in Braamfontein. And the project continued to make a difference throughout December. A week after graduation, Sikhulasonke handed over 52 food parcels to all the graduates, and it also distributed clothing and food parcels to over 100 people at the Transnet building later in December. Sikhulasonke also continued to participate in community development throughout the Christmas season, such as poverty alleviation, by donating food and clothing, in the hope of providing weekly food parcels to homeless people in the future.
