Unlocking employee skills to enable social good
Under-represented individuals should have the right to access affordable justice.
That is the vision behind Legalwise, a legal expenses insurance company in South Africa that has partnered with local non-profit organisations to help empower people in need. Working alongside CAF Southern Africa, the organisation has launched an employee community service programme, enabling its staff to assist with a range of community building activities.
Thanks to the programme, employees at the company have been given the opportunity to volunteer and support organisations they are passionate about.
One such organisation is The Cradle of Hope, a non-profit organisation which works with vulnerable people to help them get back on their feet.
Now, LegalWise and The Cradle of Hope have formed a long-term partnership, with employees providing legal workshops for abused women as well as delivering groceries and clothing on a regular basis.
