HENSOLDT South Africa – Our community
HENSOLDT South Africa is dedicated to driving sustainable change within local communities through our socio-economic development (SED) and corporate social investment (CSI) initiatives. We prioritise building lasting relationships by supporting underfunded schools, healthcare facilities, and youth development projects.
Our contributions include offering skills training, empowering young people, and enhancing education and technical expertise.
We actively promote women in STEM through bursaries and internships, while also supporting wildlife conservation efforts through our advanced technologies. These initiatives are designed to create enduring positive impact and inspire the next generation.
Investing in future pioneers
HENSOLDT is committed to empowering the next generation of innovators and leaders by supporting both school learners and university students.
At school level, we provide essential resources such as chairs, sports fields, stationery, books and tutoring to enhance the learning experience.
For university students, we offer sponsorships, prizes, bursaries and internships to help them excel academically and gain valuable practical experience.
Our strong relationships with tertiary institutions ensure that we are directly involved in shaping the educational journeys of aspiring professionals.
Through these initiatives, HENSOLDT plays a vital role in nurturing talent and fostering the pioneers of tomorrow.
Caring for those who need it most
HENSOLDT is committed to making a meaningful difference in communities through our CSI and SED programmes.
We support military veterans by upskilling them to sustain themselves and their families, teaching them skills like sewing for income generation.
HENSOLDT also funds a local children’s home, providing care, skills training, and opportunities for youth to become self-sustaining.
Employees regularly donate blood through workplace initiatives, further contributing to our community efforts. Our annual participation in Mandela Day and support for Women’s Day, including providing sanitary products, reflect our commitment to uplifting those in need.
Protecting our natural environment
HENSOLDT is committed to protecting both animals and the planet through the use of advanced technologies. Our solutions are deployed to safeguard endangered species such as rhinos, abalone, and even rare toads, helping to preserve biodiversity.
By using cutting-edge technology for monitoring and protection, HENSOLDT contributes to wildlife conservation efforts, ensuring a sustainable future for these vulnerable species and the ecosystems they depend on.
HENSOLDT celebrated five years of zero poaching on the world’s largest rhino conservancy, where HENSOLDT’s technologies had been keeping a large number of rhino safe. HENSOLDT South Africa designed and installed a surveillance and security system on the farm and since then, not one animal has been lost to poaching.
