Corporate Partnerships

Education is universally recognised as the most sustainable way of promoting a more equal society as it avails individuals with broader opportunities and the skills to participate as active economic citizens. In other words, it is genuine empowerment in action.

Although TSiBA delivers an excellent social return, we are much more than an excellent corporate social investment (CSI) opportunity. As the model below depicts, TSiBA is a highly effective empowerment portal that offers our partners solutions that addresses every one of the seven pillars of the Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) Codes of Good Practice. Through the TSiBA Fund (TF) and our Ignition Centres, as well as other initiatives, we build long term relationships that offer mutual benefits across the scorecard.
