Community health and well-being
Foskor actively participates in the communities where it operates and is visibly a socially responsible corporate citizen. Foskor provides the following premises in support of various charities:
- Phelang: HIV/AIDS programme. From Phelang, the Foskor nursing sister distributes free condoms and nutritional supplements to the Ba-Phalaborwa community. The sister also offers counselling and training to home-based caregivers in need of a support group.
- Foskor Community Centre: business centre in Namakgale.Founded about 20 years ago, the centre currently houses seven small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs), including catering concerns, a vehicle spares shop, hairdressers, and sewing, upholstery and tailoring businesses. The anchor tenant is the Department of Roads and Transport. Foskor subsidises the SMMEs’ rentals so that they can render affordable vital services to the Ba-Phalaborwa residents.
- Huis Maroela: shelter for abused women. Foskor leases a four-bedroom house at R1 per annum to the Women’s Federation in Phalaborwa.
- Enseleni: safe house for the indigent. In Richards Bay, Foskor has partnered with Business Against Crime to provide a safe house for destitute victims of crime.
