AFW's Social Conscience

Application Frameworks is an enlightened company with a social conscience. Through our comprehensive social responsibility program we aim to give a little back to society for the prosperity we have achieved. This program consists of a number of days of paid social responsibly leave for each employee where he/she can work for a registered charity and a number of goodwill grants that are distributed on a monthly basis.

One of the events we attended this year as part of the Application Frameworks social responsibility leave program was the 567 CapeTalk Radio (http://www.capetalk.co.za) and Habitat for Humanity (http://www.habitat.org.za) Big Build 2004, where ten houses were built in five days for ten families in Masiphumelele, a township near Noordhoek. Habitat for Humanity is a network of NGOs dedicated to eliminating sub-standard housing in the country. Last year we attended the SPCA Golf day where we sponsored a number of employees to play the game for charity.

Some of the charities Application Frameworks support’s:
• "The Chris Hani Independent School", a self funded school taking care of children in the Langa Township, Cape Town.
• St Luke's Hospice (http://www.stlukes.co.za) an organisation taking care of patients with terminal illnesses.
• Cape of Good Hope SPCA, an organisation taking care 100,000 animals. It receives no government funding and is entirely reliant on public funding.
