Says Bianca Lima-Boekhoud, group head of transformation at Blue Label Telecoms: “Our goal with the launch of Trust Blu Foundation is to work with private sector, public sector, non-profit and community partners to create economic opportunity for youth and entrepreneurs from disadvantaged communities.

“Our ambition is to work with our partners to build a more scalable, sustainable and integrated model that unlocks higher returns from the investments the public and private sector make in transformation and social programmes each year. By connecting community organisations and entrepreneurs with the resources they need to do more, we can create prosperity in South African communities.”

Fast-tracking socioeconomic transformation

Trust Blu’s programmes and initiatives aim to draw on the Blue Label group’s technology and innovation to fast-track socioeconomic transformation and drive meaningful participation of historically disadvantaged groups in South Africa’s economy.
