The Giftland Mall, as part of its corporate social responsibility, has launched its ‘Giftland Cares Sophia Project,’ aimed at developing the community.
The project will see the commercial centre adopting and developing the community by providing it with basic reading and writing skills, job skills and apprenticeship, as well as health and dental care and improved sports facilities.
Sophia resident and representative of the project Colin Marks thanked Chief Executive Officer of the Giftland Mall Roy Beepat and his team for engaging the community on such a level, while pointing out that the investment by the company happens to be the single largest one made by a corporate entity in the Sophia catchment community.
“The project is set in three components where we will be doing personal development, sports and recreation and competency training and this is all well for our community because if you know Sophia, we are a mushroomed community and we need to build our capacity,” Marks said.
