A highlight for the CSI initiative has been the spontaneous partnering by other<br />

organisations with the ABIL Development Trust where the social impact of our<br />

projects has been recognised. This gearing effect has served to add further<br />

momentum to the projects or alternatively, to complement the trust’s activities<br />

where funders have chosen to fund other activities aligned to our work but<br />

which the trust has been unable to fund. An example of this is the donation of<br />

libraries and resources to various schools in Limpopo and KwaZulu-Natal<br />

secured through the efforts of our English literacy partners in each of these<br />

areas, thereby increasing the social impact to these schools. Organisations who<br />

have partnered the trust to date include the Ilembe Chamber of Commerce,<br />

Industry and Tourism (ICCIT), Enterprise Ilembe, Afrisun, Rotary and the Gavin<br />

Hood Foundation.<br />
