Our Pillars of CSR

Community Engagement:

Building stronger communities is at the heart of our CSR efforts. We actively contribute to the well-being of the communities where we operate, fostering social development, and supporting local initiatives
Initiatives:
As one way of giving back to the communities we work in, Global Flux International Consultancy Limited works to reduce technological inequalities, particularly in the developing world. As part of refining our work and improving the effectiveness and outcomes of projects, we have intensified our work in a number of countries in Africa that allow technological projects to better-thrive given government policies, electrical access and a range of other environmental factors. With this initiative we project will bring brought access to technology to over 10 million people (about a quarter the population of Kenya) since every year in Kenya over 1million complete high school whom and this initiative aims to equip them with technological skills. We want to build a world where everyone has access to technology.

Whilst focusing our work to where it can be most effective, we have been refining our training and monitoring processes; arguably two of the most important components to an educational technology-for-development project. We now work to ensure that the training taking place during the project’s life will not only have benefits in the life of the project, but also once the project concludes and well into the future. This sustainability is created through our training process.

During the project’s life, our local technology partner will become ICDL accredited, meaning that a number of their staff have been trained and passed assessment in various modules focused on computer use. These modules include ‘Computer Essentials’, ‘Word Processing’, ‘Online Essentials’, and ‘Spreadsheets.’

We have three main types of beneficiary in our educational projects; Group 1 is staff from our chosen technology partner who often have relatively better skills, but still require development; Group 2 is made up of teachers from each of the schools we work with for a given project; Group 3 consists of students who will be benefitting from the computer lab we install at each of the schools in our project.
