CSI

Raintree's CSI profile reflects our views on the urgent needs of our times.

Our focus

Our environmental activity is around Species and Habitat and our social focus has been on Youth and Global Awareness.

Our strategic thinking has taken us towards being activators not just being actors as this leverages our skills set, so hopefully, optimizing our contribution towards raising Global Awareness, Understanding and Ownership and so influencing Perception, Attitude and Behavior.

Micro Lending and Social Enterprise Event

With GIBS business school and First National Bank, Raintree Solutions initiated and co-funded the special Mohammad Yunus workshop.

As a Nobel Laureate but more because of the pioneering work in micro lending to the poor and spreading the 'gospel' of Social Enterprise, Raintree felt it was crucial for business people and the public, to have a chance to hear prof Yunus.

The co-sponsors also enabled Bangladeshi youth delegates to attend One Young World.

Wildlife Support

With only 1,700 Brown Hyenas remaining in South Africa, and only 5-8,000 across the whole of Southern Africa, Project Phiri or the Brown Hyena Project was established to gain a better understanding of this endangered species.

Raintree chose to support this very important initiative. Like all environmental challenges, we must influence human Perception, Attitude and Behaviour to change current dynamics.

The Raintree Group has funded specialist cameras to help gain knowledge and broaden databases.
