 Home Community Participation > CSI Programmes Through speaking to our customers and their families, predominantly living in rural areas, we understood that although many of these individuals qualified for government grants, provident funds and retrenchment packages, few knew how to claim for these funds. In response to this, Teba Bank developed an `Access to Income` programme providing targeted communities with the knowledge and tools to make these claims successfully. The projects are focused on making a lasting impact in the community. Some responses from our communities include: "My children do not suffer anymore. I dress them, feed them and have built a house from money received from grants." "We are all aware that many people have benefited from Teba`s work in this community. They have helped my siblings to get access to their benefits after being retrenched within a short space of time. These people would not have received their money had Teba not intervened. Because my siblings benefited, I also feel that I have benefited." (Relative of deceased mineworker) "After I got my money from the mines, I built a house, bought cattle and educated my children" (Widow) "If you are a member of a child headed household and you do not have parents and you are the eldest in the family, you can apply for grants for your siblings using your ID" Teba Bank is equally concerned about the education of our customers` children and has therefore focused a great deal of time and effort on creating conducive learning environments in previously disadvantaged schools. The Schools Benefit Programme impacted the lives of learners and educators in the following communities: - Giyani; Tzaneen; Lebowagomo; Thohoyandou; Klerksdorp; Rustenburg; Lusikisiki; Bizana; Flagstaff; Idutywa; Tsolo; Umzimkulu; Mafeteng; Welkom. We have currently identified a further 16 schools in the Mount Frere and Qwaqwa surrounds that will be assisted with maintenance and repairs on infrastructure, computer equipment, library material and books, etc. These items are identified in collaboration with the principals and local Department of Education representatives.
