Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

For many years, Grant Thornton Botswana has been committed to making a difference in people’s lives and giving back to the local community through various Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. “GT (Growing Together) in the community” is a core pillar of our global strategy and also the basis of our annual “Global CSR Day”.

Every year on this day, Grant Thornton member firms all over the world engage in community service and collectively celebrate giving back to worthy causes in their respective communities. On the Global CSR Day, Grant Thornton Botswana not only gives donations, but also spends the day interacting and building relationships with local communities. Some of our beneficiaries include Mmankgodi community childcare project, Bird life Botswana, Dinaletsana development centre, Botswana substance abuse support network (BOSASNet), Pudulogong Rehabilitation and Development Trust for the blind (PUREDET), Child line, Gomudubu child care trust, and Tshwaragano Primary School.
