Sešego Cares was formed after a trip to a township by the spouses of Absa executives; and all the spouses and partners of Absa employees are encouraged to join them in getting involved in Sešego Cares projects and to help make a difference in our impoverished communities.  

Every month, Absa Rewards will match and donate 0,5% of all Cash Rewards to Sešego Cares, at no cost to members; and members also have the options to donate their own Rewards to this initiative.

As a registered (non-profit) section 21 company, Sešego Cares is the perfect platform for getting involved in Absa-supported community initiatives.  Sešego Cares believes that if we continue strengthening our partnerships, help further entrench a culture of caring, taking responsibility for each other all over Southern Africa, our investments in people will reward us with a future that can live up to the dreams of all our citizens.

Projects of Sešego Cares include: 

• Leseding Learning Academy, situated in Orange Farm, benefited from various donations, renovations, desks, chairs, stationery packs and work done is worth more than R 1, 6 million.
• Benguerra Combined School, located on Benguerra island in Mozambique, affected during the cyclone in February 2007, received stationery packs, library books and women's clothes for learners and community members.
