The FESPA Foundation aims to positively impact lives in sub-Saharan Africa by providing printed materials for early childhood development. Aside from Midcomp printing some 280sqm of wallpaper and fabrics during the Africa Print expo, which was donated to one of the FESPA Foundation’s school projects, the company is committed to giving the Foundation as much support as possible.
Midcomp will continue to provide printed materials for the Foundation’s initiatives, including posters, decals, wallpaper, floor graphics, and textile prints (which can be converted into tote bags, backpacks, pencil bags etc). Midcomp will also actively engage its supplier network and encourage them to participate by donating ink and media to support the Foundation’s efforts.
Midcomp Group CEO, Rob Makinson, added that they have an employee, Delta Chosi, who they refer to as Midcomp’s ‘Goodwill Ambassador’. ‘For many years, Chosi has travelled to schools and adds value through motivational speaking, and teaching street dancing (she is a world champion street dancer). She is also identifying what Midcomp can do to add value to these children’s lives. This has been primarily through educational posters, of which we have printed thousands in the past five years or so. These activities have not been under the auspices of the FESPA Foundation, but we are currently looking at ways to align our activities with the Foundation.’
Those who still wish to support the organisation can still help by:
– Donating, books, notebooks, pens, art kits, reading glasses or school supplies, which will be delivered to schools in need.
– Donating funds towards additional printed materials, such as banners or instructional guides to support local initiatives and community programmes.
– Cash donations are most welcome to help the Foundation purchase items such as a bakkie that is required to transport items to the schools, items for renovations and to support the work of the Foundation.
