New Jerusalem is based in Gauteng and provides residential care for abused, abandoned, traumatized, orphaned, HIV-positive and vulnerable youth.
Having identified the Section 21 organisation as a primary candidate for support and contribution, Sahara Systems initiated a campaign in the form of a collection drive within the company.
“Many staff have contributed to this initiative, their time, resources and provisions in support of the children at New Jerusalem. As Sahara Systems we have been to the organisation to present food parcels, clothing, toys and other goods that will hopefully make life a little easier during what are really difficult times,” says Ashok Narayan, Managing Director, Sahara Systems.
The company also brought through a large consignment of Easter eggs ahead of the Easter weekend - much to the delight of the children.
However it was the recent donation of a Sahara mobile solution that really put a smile on the faces of those who dedicate themselves to the running, management and marketing of the organisation.
“We are very happy and grateful to Sahara Systems for all they have done and this solution. This mobile technology will assist us with our information technology and digital communication capability, which is critical to our ongoing marketing and awareness strategy,” says Anna Mojapelo, Founder and Managing Director at New Jerusalem Children’s Home.
Sahara Systems has committed to continue to interact with the children’s home and other not-for-profit organizations in the surrounding area going forward.
The company believes this not only fulfills its corporate social responsibility but also reinforces its standpoint and positioning as a community-focused and driven company.
“The campaign is ongoing and there are plans in place to organize a family fun day, in association with our vendors, which will encourage unity and support in communities. This exemplifies the basis and ethos upon which Sahara is built – the empowerment of people through the provision of access to affordable, quality technology,”
