Poverty affects all of us.<br />

It attacks the very fabric of our society.<br />

It erodes self-respect and personal dignity.<br />

It perpetuates the false belief that<br />

human worth is linked to money, looks,<br />

possessions and status.<br />

It divides families and wrecks social<br />

cohesion.<br />

It is at the root of most violence.<br />

It undermines our safety and destroys our<br />

stability.<br />

It ensures that the majority of our people<br />

remain unemployable – unable to pay for<br />

their own and their children’s education.<br />

It cripples our workforce, reducing our<br />

collective productivity.<br />

It discourages foreign investment.<br />

Photo: Jan Tutter / flickr<br />

It destabilises the very foundations of<br />

business: the expansion of a robust<br />

consumer base.<br />

l<br />

Everything is connected.<br />

Everything affects everything else.<br />

Do what is within your power to help the<br />

human beings in your circle of influence<br />

achieve their full potential.<br />

We will all benefit.

Community <strong>Conversations</strong> offers an innovative<br />

platform to amplify marginalised voices and<br />

create income for people in townships and<br />

underrepresented communities.<br />

These <strong>Conversations</strong> provide unique<br />

opportunities for businesses to engage with<br />

township, inner-city and rural audiences, build<br />

brand awareness, promote products, and gain<br />

valuable insights into the diverse needs and<br />

interests of <strong>South</strong> <strong>African</strong> society – all while<br />

actively contributing to positive change in<br />

people’s lives.<br />

Community <strong>Conversations</strong> are free and<br />

open to all! Attendees come from various<br />

backgrounds, education levels, and income<br />

brackets, encompassing a wide range of ages,<br />

locals from the neighbourhood, curious visitors,<br />

and dedicated change-makers.<br />

These non-political events are made possible<br />

by advertising partnerships and take place in<br />

participating communities on the first Sunday<br />

of every month from 14h00 to 16h00.<br />

to generate income through sales<br />

sellers.<br />

Make<br />

space for<br />

a seller or<br />

two at your<br />

place<br />

Join us in making a difference.<br />

l Support the magazine by subscribing for your<br />

low-income workers, your reception areas or<br />

for a school, library or community centre in a<br />

disadvantaged area. (Co-branding option available.)<br />

l Make space available in your building or at your<br />

your CSI initiatives in the magazine. It costs just R1<br />

per full page advertisement per magazine!<br />

Our magazine caters to two primary audiences.<br />

l Affluent people who buy the magazine as a<br />

‘compassion’ purchase or because they are<br />

intrigued by the message on the seller’s T-shirt.<br />

l People in disadvantaged situations, who find value<br />

in our practical solutions and insights.<br />

Our content appeals to all <strong>South</strong> <strong>African</strong>s because,<br />

even when we have nothing in common, we all share<br />

a vested interest in making our country thrive.<br />

Imagine if every building in an<br />

affluent area provided space<br />

for a magazine seller.<br />

We could create so many<br />

‘jobs’ with little effort or<br />

expense – other than the small<br />

change of wealthy passersby.<br />

Think about it.<br />

It could be the foyer of your<br />

office building, a small space<br />

at the entrance to a mall, a<br />

gallery, restaurant, market,<br />

corporate or sports event.<br />

It’s a win-win for everyone!<br />

Public goodwill and B-BBEE<br />

scorecard points<br />

are a bonus.<br />

We Can Bridging the Digital Divide with Your Support<br />

Did you know that more than 15 million <strong>South</strong> <strong>African</strong>s never use the Internet and<br />

most do not have access at home? (Source: Source: www.datareportal.com)<br />

With the knowledge of the world moving online, lack of access to information poses<br />

a significant threat to development and progress in our country.<br />

<strong>South</strong> <strong>African</strong> <strong>Conversations</strong> tackles this challenge with a comprehensive printed<br />

directory of NPO, civil society and government programmes. The directory also<br />

carries empowering information about apps, tools, web-based resources, global best<br />

practices and actionable to-do lists. It empowers <strong>South</strong> <strong>African</strong>s and those who serve<br />

them to create better lives for themselves, their families and their communities.<br />

directory. It costs just R1 per full-page advertisement per book!<br />

l You can use your marketing or CSI budget to earn B-BBEE points* and gain<br />

WHO ARE WE TALKiNG TO?<br />

Our publications and events transcend demographics<br />

and lifestyles because they address communal issues in<br />

a way that can be ‘heard’ by all <strong>South</strong> <strong>African</strong>s. Despite<br />

our differences, we all have a vested interest in the<br />

well-being of our country – if only because our own<br />

well-being is closely tied to it.<br />

Our publications and events encourage understanding<br />

and compassion, and offer suggestions for practical<br />

actions that can be taken by individuals, families,<br />

communities, concerned onlookers, businesses and<br />

policy-makers to improve our shared world.<br />

Even though advertising is the financial engine<br />

that makes our work possible, we are not driven by<br />

advertising revenue, but by a deep commitment to help<br />

eradicate poverty, unemployment and socio-economic<br />

inequality in <strong>South</strong> Africa.<br />

For detailed information about our audiences in<br />

relation to our products, take a look at Who Are We<br />

Talking To? on the Advertise tab on our site:<br />

SCHEDULE<br />

We do not have a fixed publishing schedule<br />

for the Resource Directory. While we aim for<br />

a minimum print run of 30,000 copies, we can<br />

proceed with printing when we have pre-print<br />

orders for as few as 6,000 copies.<br />

We are continuously updating and adding to<br />

the book’s content and can initiate a print run<br />

of a new edition whenever we have received<br />

sufficient pre-print orders. So, book your<br />

advertising space now. We will notify you well<br />

in advance to allow time to submit your printready<br />

materials to us, and we will only invoice<br />

once we proceed with printing.<br />
