Momentum CSI recognised

30 November 2010

Tshikululu client Momentum has been adjudged the winning CSI programme in the PMR Africa Golden Arrow Ubuntu Awards 2010. The award recognises “œcompanies and institutions perceived to enhance stability, growth and economic development in South Africa through their CSR/CSI Programmes and initiatives”.

Momentum’s social investment initiatives are driven by the Momentum Fund (managed by Tshikululu Social Investments) and supported by the Momentum Volunteers Programme. The main focus areas of the Fund are people living with disabilities, vulnerable children, and a bursary programme that funds research in these sectors – translating into the Disability Programme, the Community Orphaned and Vulnerable Children (OVC) HIV/Aids Programme, and the Bursary Programme.

Tshikululu COO Francois Witbooi describes the award as “œa heartening recognition of the consistent work of the Momentum Fund in especially the disability sector, and also of the vitality of social investment solutions being applied in that area”.
