Petrusville Community I-Centre

In Petrusville, the community I-Centre provides ICT services to the community.

The challenge

Access to reliable internet and ICT services is crucial for education, communication, and economic development. The community of Petrusville lacked the infrastructure and resources to access these services. The I-Centre provides the necessary ICT support to the broader community.

How we worked together

The I-Centre is open from 8am to 4pm every day. We have employed a local programme administrator to ensure the efficiency of the centre.  The services provided vary from assisting school children with their school assignments, to helping local SMMEs to update their business documentation, CV writing, interviews and more. The centre has become a tool to connect the community with the world and allows them to thrive in today’s digital age.

Key results

The I-Centre is a tremendous success, seeing the kids’ faces light up when the computer lights up on their faces. The impact is undeniable, let’s continue working together!

Community investments are our voluntary initiatives that contribute to the long-term common good of local communities and come in addition to efforts made to mitigate or compensate for project-related impacts. We are committed to contributing to the communities in a way that allows them to develop by themselves without becoming dependent on us.
