The Jacana Development Foundation exists to enable its Broker Partner companies and their staff, to make a meaningful difference to the lives of South Africans and so play a role in creating a better South Africa.
The Jacana Foundation was established in 2022 to implement and support development projects aligned to the core purpose and competencies of The Jacana Group and the insurance industry.
The Foundation ensures that the resources of Broker partners, as well as of their business partners and customers, can be combined and leveraged to make a real and meaningful difference to selected communities. Besides financial contributions, staff can be enabled to add real value through the sharing of their expertise, effort and time.
The Foundation is a shareholder of the Jacana Administration Services.
The support provided to communities is focussed around 4 key areas, all aligned to the work The Jacana Group does.
Education, in all its forms, is fundamental to an effective and successful society.
Financial literacy equips individuals to positively manage their own financial futures.
Health and wellbeing positively enhance the daily lives of individuals and enable communities to grow stronger.
Work readiness of youth and enterprise development help reduce unemployment and are critical contributors to a thriving South African society.
All projects supported are underpinned by a commitment to Environmental Sustainability.
