The Greatness Effect infiltrating South Africa’s less fortunate communities.

KLM Empowered sets out to feed more than 5,777 underprivileged South Africans by 31 July 2018.

Leading Skills Development enterprise and Private FET College in Bruma, Johannesburg, KLM Empowered Human Solutions Specialists, is fast dispersing its mission of “Greatness” and has launched their second annual challenge asking Learner groups to compete, to see who can distribute the most lunch packs to underprivileged citizens in their regions and communities.

Bigger and greater than before, the July 2018 Big Hearts Challenge proudly celebrates the Nelson Mandela Centenary and calls on Learners to break the 2017 record of 5 777 lunch packs delivered in a spirit of kindness to uplift communities around South Africa.

Last year, 14 KLM Empowered Learner groups participated in the initiative with the DSV Global Transport and Logistics Group in Johannesburg leading the way with 923 of the total 5 777 packs over a short space of 4 weeks – supervised by KLM Empowered’s Business Administration NQF 4 facilitator, Ms. Maryne Botha.

Packing a near second place with a total of 650 lunch packs was the Project Management NQF 4 Learner Group of MultiChoice KZN, supervised by facilitator Mr Laven Monisami.

“I am very excited to see what our Learners can achieve this year as they set out once more to make a difference by selflessly volunteering their time and energy to uplift communities,” says CEO Lyn Mansour. “This year’s challenge goes hand-in-hand with our drive to encourage the greatness effect among all South Africans through initiatives that go beyond education. We are proud and motivated to enrich the country by providing its citizens with the resources they need to achieve greatness.”

Birthed by KLM Empowered and inspired by Lead SA’s Movement for Good, the 2018 Big Hearts Challenge is a pay-it-forward movement and the enterprise encourages corporate sponsors to follow, sponsor and support the effort to transform the nation through empowering initiatives and instilling #TheGreatnessEffect.

The Movement For Good Initiative is integrated into the learning outcomes of all qualifications offered by KLM Empowered, encouraging active community involvement from Learners, which is scored against their qualification credits. Through implementing purpose-driven education, KLM Empowered believes participant Learners will develop the vital EQ and IQ capacity needed for improved future leadership in South Africa.

Last year Lyn Mansour, CEO and Founder of KLM Empowered, was awarded the CEO of Africa 2017 title for her commendable and constant efforts towards employee, Learner and community empowering initiatives and contributions, as has been the case since the inception of KLM Empowered in 2005.

As a Level 1 B- BBEE project management and skills development company, KLM Empowered continues to service Government and Corporate sectors providing world-class skills development for all aspiring individuals and talent pipelines, including its large portfolio offering to persons living with disability.

“We stand for more than just education, IQ and competency; we stand for human transformation in absolute magnitude,” ends Mansour.
