One of the most effective tools in
supporting the fight against COVID-19
has been ensuring that factual and
impactful messages reach
communities in a language they
understand. To enable more inclusive
communication, we produced 400
000 pamphlets with informative
indicating how to prevent the spread
of COVID-19. These were delivered to
Early Childhood Development
Centres, schools and communities in
Sasolburg, Secunda, areas close to
our pipelines, and Mozambique. We
also rolled out targeted messaging
using billboards, newspapers, radio
and television coverage.

Keeping the wheels of education well-oiled
The declaration of the national lockdown in South Africa resulted in
significant loss of the academic year for the majority of learners in the public
schooling system. To mitigate the loss, the Sasol Global Foundation
partnered with the Department of Basic Education (DBE) and Africa Teen
Geeks to provide free online and interactive Science, Technology, Engineering
and Mathematics (STEM) learning for Grades R to 12 learners. Through
multiple stakeholder efforts, we contributed to reaching 157 000
learners through the various online learning platforms.
In North America, we directed resources to the
City of Westlake’s public schools to help
educators transition to online learning. We also
partnered with the Louisiana Small Business
Development Center at McNeese State
University to provide virtual small business
support courses. This assisted in minimising the
disruptive effects of lockdowns in the region.
