Technology in Service
of People

We believe businesses exist to serve more than shareholders. At Jaspa, every team member, every system we build, and every rand we earn carries a responsibility to uplift the communities we operate in.

Mandela Day 2026

67 Minutes.
Real Work. Real Impact.

On 17 July 2026, the Jaspa team showed up, not with a cheque, but with their hands. We spent the day at a local NPO, rolling up our sleeves to contribute where it matters most: directly, personally, and with genuine purpose.

Nelson Mandela said it best: "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead."

Our CSI Focus Areas

Jaspa's social investment is structured around four pillars where technology and community intersect.

Digital Skills Education

South Africa has a critical shortage of digital skills, particularly in under-resourced communities. We run workshops, sponsor data access, and partner with schools and training centres to build foundational and advanced technology literacy.

  • check_circle Coding workshops at township schools
  • check_circle Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace training for NPO staff
  • check_circle Sponsored data bundles for learners
  • check_circle Youth developer mentorship programme

NPO Technology Support

Many non-profit organisations do life-changing work but are held back by outdated or broken technology. We offer pro-bono and subsidised technology services, from building websites to setting up cloud systems, so NPOs can focus on their mission, not their IT.

  • check_circle Pro-bono website builds for qualifying NPOs
  • check_circle Subsidised business email and cloud tools
  • check_circle IT support days at community organisations
  • check_circle Technology audits and strategy sessions

Youth Entrepreneurship

The next generation of South African entrepreneurs needs more than inspiration. They need access, mentorship, and tools. We invest in youth-led businesses through mentoring, enterprise development programmes, and preferential procurement.

  • check_circle Business mentorship for youth-owned SMMEs
  • check_circle Enterprise development partnerships
  • check_circle Incubation support for tech start-ups
  • check_circle Procurement preference for emerging businesses

Early Childhood Development

Through Jaspa ECD, our dedicated early learning platform, we support ECD centres with subsidised management software, administration training, and connectivity resources, helping practitioners spend less time on paperwork and more time with children.

  • check_circle Training for ECD practitioners on digital admin
  • check_circle Connectivity support for under-resourced centres
  • check_circle Compliance and reporting assistance
Our Commitment to Transformation

B-BBEE Level 1: Not a Box to Tick

Jaspa Innovate holds a B-BBEE Level 1 contributor status. For us, this is not a compliance exercise. It reflects who we are as a company, how we hire, who we buy from, and how we invest in the communities around us.

Broad-based economic transformation is inseparable from building a sustainable technology ecosystem in South Africa. When more South Africans can participate in the digital economy, the entire economy benefits.

Get Involved

Know an NPO That Needs a Technology Partner?

If you work with or know a non-profit organisation that is struggling with outdated technology, poor connectivity, or simply needs digital tools to serve their community better, nominate them.

We review nominations quarterly and select organisations for pro-bono or subsidised technology support. No organisation is too small. If they serve their community, we want to serve them.
