A Gift of Clean Water, Supported by the Frank Coales (No. 4) Trust and Denso South Africa

Access to clean, reliable water remains a daily challenge for many childcare facilities in South Africa. Through the generous support of the Frank Coales (No. 4) Trust, facilitated by Denso South Africa, Benjamin Generation now has a long-term, sustainable water solution that will benefit hundreds of children and staff.

The project included the drilling of a 100-metre borehole, as well as the installation of a borehole motor, pump, and solar panels. This ensures a continuous supply of clean water and allows the system to operate even during electricity outages.

Benjamin Generation is a non-profit childcare centre caring for vulnerable children placed in its care by Child Services. Previously, daily water used for hygiene, sanitation, and laundry resulted in high municipal costs. With the new borehole system in place, these costs have been effectively eliminated.

The organisation operates solely through the support of individuals, trusts, churches, and corporate partners, and receives no government funding.

Denso South Africa’s involvement goes beyond financial support; it is an investment in sustainability, resilience, and the future of vulnerable children. This partnership demonstrates the positive impact of meaningful corporate social investment.

Denso SA Celebrates Human Rights Day at IMESA Family Fun Walk

Denso SA was proud to host a stall at the finish line of the IMESA engineers and family day fun walk held at the Durban beachfront.

As participants crossed the finish line, our team handed out fresh fruit and beverages to help them rehydrate and celebrate their achievement. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow engineers, their families, and other industry professionals in a relaxed, outdoor setting.

The event, held in commemoration of Human Rights Day in South Africa, brought together colleagues and community members for a morning of wellness, networking, and conversation. For Denso SA, it was a productive and rewarding day of brand visibility, relationship-building, and celebrating the values of dignity, community, and healthy living.

A big thank you to IMESA KZN Branch for organizing, and to everyone who stopped by the Denso SA stall. We look forward to the next one.

It was an incredible day of competition, determination and inspiring displays of teamwork and we were impressed by the participants efforts and commitment.

Project Partnership between The F.B Coales Charitable Trust and Khanyisela (Northern Drakensberg Projects)

Amidst the majesty of the Drakensberg Mountains, a World Heritage Site in South Africa, are rural areas of incredible poverty. Parents having to work relatively far from home and including extensive travel times.

The Creche’s and Pre-schools are integral to the welfare, safety, and initial introduction to learning for many toddlers and young children.

The F.B Coales Trust through an already strong relationship by Winn and Coales (Denso) with Khanyisela looked to assist the dire needs and projects related to three of these Pre-Schools. These projects, now finalised, have changed the lives of the educators and children.

Mpumelelo Pre-school: Replacement of Toilet block

The destruction of the old unsafe pit toilets and building of new fit-for-purpose toilets, safely sized for the young children.

Listening to the educators and their thankfulness for this hugely impactful change, something many of us take for granted, was incredibly heartwarming.

Sivukile Pre-school: installation of classroom ceilings

The Northern Drakensberg has temperature ranges on between -5 degrees Celsius in winter to 35 degrees Celsius in summer. These ceilings, insulate in the winter, and maintain temperatures in summer. This allows children to be comfortable in their learning environment. The project completion has changed the look and feel of the classrooms, making it welcoming and a great place to spend the day as the children learn and play.

Little Flowers: New classroom

This Pre-school was started by an educator suffering from Polio, who in Covid, lost her income. She was determined to serve her community and opened Little Flowers Pre-school. This added classroom had a massive effect of her school as it allowed the youngest children to be separated from the older and thus allowing minimal disruption in the older learning classes. This school is base din an area called Hawaii in the Amazinzi district and is such a colourful beacon of hope.

Denso South Africa’s ongoing support of Royal Drakensberg Primary School

This school, originally built by the Cavern Hotel’s owners to school their own children, has grown substantially, and is supported by a number of organisations. Denso South Africa provides funds annually to pay for two learners to attend – both from the impoverished Amazinzi district, as are most of the other learners.  I had the privilege of meeting “our” two learners and had some wonderful conversations together with the school principal Thobani Ndlovu. They are so proud to be at this school and are progressing well.

Travel Dairy: Northern Drakensberg

The visit to the school and pre-schools was soul invigorating, but true to South African standard a few guests had been be assisted along their way during the trip.

The first was a frog in the classroom, which for the young children was terrifying, and then we had to assist, very gently of course, a local Puff Adder to ensure it was not killed on the pathways. Fortunately, the Baboons behaved themselves this time, and did not get closer than 5 meters the one day! Another superb weekend in Africa.
