Engen’s winter warmer school shoe drive set to roll

| Social Responsibility

As the winter cold continues to bite, Engen is set to support 700 primary school learners across the country with warm socks, beanies and scarfs and a brand-new pair of school shoes.

Launched on August 8th at Wentworth and Tholisu Primary Schools in South Durban, the Winter Warmer School Shoe campaign will roll out at 14 schools across the country over the next few weeks.

“Education is one of Engen’s key social investment focus areas,” comments the company’s CSI manager, Olwethu Mdabula.

Engen has a proud record of social investment and cares deeply about the communities in which it operates

As a caring and inclusive company with ‘heart’, Engen is firmly committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which endeavour to ensure a better and more sustainable future for all.

Continues Mdabula: “We believe that education is a key enabler to transform lives, which is why we are so passionate about the Winter Warmer School Shoe initiative because it will help uplift and empower young learners.

“By supporting these young learners, we will ensure that their dignity is retained and that they never have to miss school as result of not having school a pair of school shoes.”
