Bidvest Protea Coin has developed a unique approach to making a sustainable positive impact on the communities within which we operate.
The challenges facing our country are enormous and overwhelming, especially in poor and marginalized communities. Creating a positive and sustainable difference requires a structured and considered approach.
Our efforts are focused on the following four main components and require coordination to act and cooperate with trusted partner groups as much as possible. Our four priority areas:
Skills Development
Sustainable Employment
Sport
