Corporate Social Responsibility – 2024
During the 2024 winter season, RW Attorneys demonstrated their commitment to their social responsibility by teaming up with the Starfish Babies in Pretoria. Starfish Babies, a project launched under Starfish Projects NPO, provides support to temporary places of safety families. These families voluntarily care for unwanted babies and toddlers until more permanent placement is arranged. The collaboration aimed to uplift the lives of orphaned, abused, abandoned and neglected babies ranging from birth to 18 months old. As part of our Corporate Social Investment (CSI) projects, RW Attorneys organised an impactful initiative on Nelson Mandela Day.
Mandela Day
Starfish Babies is a beacon of hope for those babies and toddlers in dire circumstances. This organisation provides crucial care, love and support, offering both temporary and permanent residential solutions, alongside community based social services. Notably, babies and toddlers find refuge at this facility through social workers and court orders, highlighting the significance of its role in protecting vulnerable young lives.
On Nelson Mandela Day, RW attorneys intensified their efforts by collecting essential resources to aid the babies and toddlers during the colder months. Volunteers from the law firm spent 67 minutes donating baby clothes and toiletries to the babies to ensure their well-being during the chilly season.
RW Attorneys’ collaboration with Starfish babies is a token of our dedication to social responsibility and highlights the power of partnerships in making a positive impact in the community. By reaching out to the most vulnerable members of society, RW Attorneys hope to set an example for other corporations to follow, proving that even a small act of kindness can leave a lasting impression on young lives in need.
