SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Education
The future of Mauritius greatly depends on the quality of educational.
It is unfortunate that illiteracy is still high among children.
In recent years, the Food & Allied Group has taken the following steps to foster better education, particularly with regard to employees’ children.
Chantecler Foundation – Secondary & Technical studies
The group is committed to supporting employees’ children during their secondary education. This assistance has been extended to technical school level. Based on some criteria, employees contribute and can have access to different levels of funding. Hundreds of children have benefited from the scheme since 1981. The Chantecler Foundation, responsible for this project, can be proud of its achievements, including helping Laureates in recent years.
Tertiary studies
The group is putting the final touch to a different scheme aimed at supporting employees’ children who wish to undertake tertiary studies.
The partnership between Food & Allied and the University of Mauritius
The University of Mauritius is making a, excellent contribution to the future of Mauritius. Each year, the Group will reward the best student of The Agriculture, Engineering, Law and Management, Science and Social Science faculties. In addition, the group provides guest lecturers who can bring to students a “real world perspective”.
Literacy courses
Finally,
Societe Madco Formation offers literacy courses to employees who need it most.
Fond de Solidarité
