A study by the World Bank in 2008 found that 73% of people in
Sub-Saharan Africa live below the poverty line, surviving on a meagre
US$2 a day. Whole communities of families are living without access
to food, clean water and an education for their children.

it is becoming obvious that the positives that come from CSR have
a ripple effect not just in these communities, but within the
company itself.
