WHAT WE DO
Community Health and Service Infrastructure programme
Sasol’s community development programmes
are premised on the needs of the fenceline
communities and guided by our desire to
strengthen relationships with our stakeholders
and regulators.
IMPACT
Access to healthcare services, basic water and sanitation
infrastructure and electricity are basic human rights. As a
good corporate citizen, Sasol cannot overlook some of the
basic needs of its immediate neighbours due to the failure
of service delivery. As set out in our commitment and our
approach, we play a supporting and collaborative role with
relevant stakeholders delivering services to our fenceline
communities. This is done to create an enabling
environment in which both communities and businesses
can thrive. This is the reason we invest in:
• Completed significant building and repairs of key water, sanitation,
health, sports and road infrastructures in Sasolburg, Secunda and
Ekandustria.
• Infrastructure development;
• Health and wellness programmes for healthier
communities who will be productive and in turn
contribute positively to society; and
• Disability programmes.
South Africa
• Over 1,5 million young people reached through the HIV/AIDS education
and awareness campaign implemented in KZN, in-person, and using
social and broadcast media.
• Over 1 000 people went through screening and testing for chronic
illnesses and optometry. 900 glasses were distributed on-site.
Medication was given to those who have chronic illnesses and referred
to the local clinics for follow-up. This was a partnership with the
Department of Health.
• Rehabilitation of school assembly point in Ekandustria.
• Completed the rehabilitation of the roads and water reticulation
systems in Zamdela and Sasolburg respectively.
• Lekwa Rural Water Provision project has commenced as part of the Sasol
Mining social labour plan commitment, to the communities in Lekwa.
• Drilling of boreholes at four Ekandustria clinics and equipping
with storage tanks and solar solutions to ensure uninterrupted
water supply to the primary healthcare facilities. The boreholes
were equipped with solar energy solution and filtration system
for functionality to ensure uninterrupted water supply while not
contributing to additional operation costs to the facilities. This will
benefit 81 891 community members and create 16 jobs.
Mozambique
• 37 communities are benefitting from the seven new installed boreholes
resulting in: improved access to portable water; increased the
sustainability of supply systems and boreholes; improved the hygiene and
sanitation of the environment; and preventing water contamination.
• The sanitation project has commenced and is positively impacting
the lives of 37 communities in Govuro, Inhassoro and Pande.
• US$1,2 million has been invested to rehabilitate and improve
the existing health centres of Pande and Doane.
• Upgrade of the Mangungumete health centre to a level of a Provincial
Hospital in order to accommodate the communities around our
operations who require healthcare.
• US$2,6 million has been invested to build a secondary school in
Tshitotso. This school will bring relief to most learners who have
to travel far to access secondary school.
• Building of five blocks of school classrooms to enable learners
to access learning in proper buildings in Govuro and Inhasorro.
SASOL ITALY IN SUPPORT OF DYNAMO CAMP
For Sasol Italy, Corporate Social Responsibility is very important, which is why we have decided to get involved by supporting the Dynamo Camp Foundation.
Dynamo Camp offers children and adolescents suffering from chronic diseases, in therapy or in the post-hospitalisation period, healthy siblings and their
families specific Recreational Therapy programmes.
The Camp, located in a WWF-affiliated oasis in the
province of Pistoia -Oasi Dynamo-, organises activities
and workshops conducted with the Recreational Therapy
method and the assistance of qualified staff.
The Dynamo Recreational Therapy programmes consist
of activities and workshops, which take place with the
assistance of qualified staff at the Dynamo Camp facility
and through the Dynamo Programmes project, in hospitals,
pathology associations and family homes throughout Italy.
In October 2023, Sasol Italy donated the equivalent
of two days of Dynamo Recreational Therapy for
25 children.
Recreational Therapy is the scientific basis that inspires
the activities of Dynamo Camp, with the aim of having
fun, but also and above all of promoting self-confidence
with long-term benefits. This approach consists of
tackling illness and related disabilities by focusing on
children’s abilities and potential, experienced through
fun, inclusive and challenging activities, carried out with
qualified assistance.
Overall, since the project’s inception in 2007, in 13 years
of its social mission, Dynamo Camp has hosted 8 799
sick children in Soli Camper programmes, 8 164 children,
teenagers and parents in family programmes;

in addition, it has reached 25 340 sick children in
hospitals, pathology associations and family homes
with Recreational Therapy activities, thus offering
assistance with Dynamo Recreational Therapy
programmes to over 42 300 people.
Dynamo has visited our Milan offices explaining the
project to all the employees. Before Christmas
holidays we collected gifts to donate to children
of Dynamo Camp and in April we attended the
Milan Marathon running in support of Dynamo Camp.
