Proudly South Africa gives back to Isu’lihle Primary School

In an effort to give back to the community and assisting schools that are in need, Proudly South African showed love to Isu’lihle Primary School by donating school infrastructure on Friday, April 26, at Zola.

Proudly South African is the country’s official buy local campaign seeking to stimulate much-needed job creation and retention in our country through lobbying for and promotion of local goods, services and industries.

The buy campaign donated 190 new locally- made chairs, new signage board, painted the school walls and installed new ceiling boards in all classrooms.

Proudly SA Chief Marketing Officer, Happy Makhumalo Ngidi said, “We as proudly South African firmly believe in giving back to the community, especially to schools.

These children are the hope of the nation and for the future.

“That is why we as a campaign chose to adopt Isu’lihle Primary School, to create a conducive learning environment which will enable the children to learn and grow so that they can reach for the stars.”

In the past years, the school experienced challenges with roof leakages, not having enough chairs for all learners and walls that needed painting. Proudly South African decided to step in and lend a helping hand to the school so that the learners attend a school that provides a good learning environment.

Speaking to Urban New, Deputy Principal at Isu’lihle, Thokozile Zondo said she is very thankful to proudly South African for acknowledging Isu’lihle and expressing love for the school.

“I was filled with humility upon realising that there are still companies that are willing to assist children from underprivileged backgrounds. Isu’lihle is one of the schools situated in an area where the majority of learners originate from houses headed by youngsters and are affected by social issues,” said Zondo.
