Care for Our Communities

Astral is proud to partner with the Seriti Institute, a leader in community development. Together we address critical challenges such as poverty, unemployment, and inequality through targeted initiatives that promote social cohesion and empower community ownership.

Today, our collaboration has expanded to include collaborative partnerships built on the Seriti Institute’s methodology of tri-sectoral partnerships, which unites government public employment programmes with Astral and Seriti, to infuse local economies with critical financial resources used for infrastructure development, training and skill-building that create a significant difference over time. During 2024, more than 500 South African citizens benefit from valuable work experience and skills training in areas such as community surveys, sustainable farming, and environmental beautification, advancing agricultural sustainability an self-reliance, improving community engagement, and empowering unemployed women.

Astral and Ronloth hosted a fund-raising golf day during March 2024. Thanks to Ronloth, Astral suppliers and other partners who played on the day, a substantial amount of money was raised for The St Laurence Haven. These funds will go a long way in assisting children in need.
