Corporate Social Investment Program

MTC has become synonymous with corporate social investment, interweaving itself into the fabric of the Namibian society. MTC has consistently led the pack as the key catalyst for the creation of social impacts in society. MTC’s social investment totals one per cent of the company’s revenue per annum and is deliberately geared to benefit the greater number of Namibians, as well as the environment. 

• By far the largest benefactor of sports in Namibia, MTC has this year spent N$17,5 million on football, rugby, cricket and golf. These sponsorships were viewed by MTC as the company’s responsibility to improve administrative and athletic capacity. Through these sponsorships MTC has assisted with the creation of direct and indirect employment through wages for coaches, players and administrators. By enabling sports to be played at various venues around the country, additional income is also generated by the small traders who sell refreshments before, during and after these local competitions.
   
• MTC played a major role in contributing to road safety through its support to the Motor Motor Vehicles Accidents Fund's road safety campaign. During the period under review, MTC ‘adopted’ the Swakopmund and Luiperdsvallei roadblocks, providing an assortment of equipment to the two roadblocks. Total contributions for this road safety effort totalled N$ 100, 000.
   
• MTC also sponsored the Namibian Coastal Conservation and Management (NACOMA) Project of the Ministry of  Environment and Tourism to equip wildlife wardens with the necessary tools to police the coastline during the festive season.
   
• As a responsible corporate citizen who has a special regard for the growth of small and medium entrepreneurs, MTC spent in excess N$2 million in sponsorships to various trade shows, expositions and trade fairs.
   
• MTC has also started working with the Clinton Foundation on the tracking of people to and from malaria prone areas. The collaboration involves the use of anonymised mobile phone usage data to conduct seminal assessment and planning of the complete elimination of malaria from Namibia and other bordering countries.
   
• Through the MTC Foundation, MTC selected 13 foster care home or kindergartens - one centre in each political region – and donated an amount of N$ 100,000 to each of these to  continue helping children who are infected or orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
