Samenvatting

DHV stresses the importance of community development

In Durban, the flip-flop factory that uses old car tires, was successfully opened on 12 May. DHV is one of the project’s main sponsors and organized the opening together with its South African subsidiary SSI.

The factory creates structural employment opportunities and provides the workers and their families with better prospects for a future. In addition to initiatives such as this, capacity building is also a structural component of DHV’s projects in South Africa. Talented students are trained by experienced SSI engineers and consultants to give them a better chance of gaining entrance to university and winning a scholarship.
