Building a Better Future with Auto and General CSI Initiatives

For more than 30 years, Auto and General has been covering South Africans, giving them peace of mind that their homes and valuables are in good hands through trusted Auto and General Insurance solutions. Alongside this commitment, we recognise the growing responsibility for businesses to contribute meaningfully through social responsibility investment in the communities in which they operate.

Our corporate social investment (CSI) strategy reflects the values of Auto and General Insurance by focusing on the long-term social development of the Diepsloot community through food security, education, and skills development initiatives that support sustainable growth.

Supporting Food Security in the Diepsloot Community

Food security remains a cornerstone of Auto and General’s corporate social investment in Diepsloot. Through the Food Security Programme (FSP), 26 grow zones are now operating in the community, with an additional grow zone established in collaboration with Steyn City Farm, supporting six local growers. These grow zones supply fresh, nutritious produce to 101 Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres, with 50 ECDs supported by Diepsloot grow zones and 51 by Steyn City Farm.

This initiative plays a vital role in ensuring that young children receive healthy meals during critical developmental years, improving concentration, attendance, and overall well-being. As part of Auto and General Insurance’s social responsibility investment, the programme also aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, reinforcing our commitment to measurable, long-term community impact.

Investing in Youth Education and Maths Development

Education is a key driver of long-term economic participation and social mobility, and Auto and General continues to invest in programmes that strengthen foundational learning. Through our partnership with the OLICO Foundation, we support the growth of Maths Clubs across Diepsloot, helping learners build strong numeracy skills from an early age.

As of December 2025, 1,873 learners are participating in 124 Maths Clubs throughout the community. These clubs provide structured academic support, improve confidence in mathematics, and encourage problem-solving skills that are essential for future learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.

By investing in Maths education at the community level through our corporate social investment strategy, Auto and General Insurance aims to improve pass rates, reduce learning gaps, and expand access to high-demand career pathways.
