Consistent with our key values of long-term thinking, we strive to make the lives of our children of South Africa easier, safer, and better. A cause very close to our hearts is the fight against child abuse and we have taken proactive measures to support initiatives in this regard. 

Increased risk of child abuse and violence has been observed across South Africa resulting from the far-reaching effects of COVID-19, according to UNICEF South Africa and child protection partners. The alarm was flagged after Childline South Africa reported a more than 36.8% increase in calls for help during August 2020, compared with the same month in 2019. 

This year’s Mandela Day saw the B2K team visit the Kidz Clinic in Boksburg where we fervently launched ourselves into fixing and refurbishing some of the children’s playground equipment, walls, and general facilities.

“The roots and hearts of our company are deeply immersed in supporting our local communities and giving back to those with far less than we could ever realise. They say charity starts at home and we believe our home extends beyond our immediate 4 walls, but to those in our neighbouring communities,” explains B2K MD, Ross Trevelyan.
