Empact Group celebrated Mandela Day by contributing to the enhancement of mathematics education in partnership with the Maths Centre.
As part of their corporate social investment (CSI) efforts, their dedicated teams of staff volunteers visited schools across three regions to inspire and engage young minds through the vibrant world of mathematics.
In alignment with this year’s Mandela Day theme, teams of Empactors transformed classrooms with creative maths formulas and illustrations designed to make maths both engaging and accessible for learners.

By integrating visual aids into the learning environment, we aim to spark curiosity and foster a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts among students.
In Thembisa teams visited Welamlambo Primary School.
Sharanjeet Shan, CEO of Maths Centre, highlighted the transformative impact of such initiatives.
“Having Empact Group’s volunteers here is truly a blessing. When students see visual representations of complex formulas and mathematical illustrations it makes these concepts more tangible and easier to grasp.
“Maths hubs lead to better engagement by learners and can assist in improving their academic performance, boosting their confidence to help them see the prevalence of mathematics in all STEM subjects.
“STEM education is crucial in lifting families out of poverty and giving children a fair shot at a brighter future with access to higher education.
