Eazi Access Invests In Giving Back To The Community
In commemoration of Mandela Day, which encourages a spirit of giving back to make a difference in others’ lives, the Eazi Access teams across South Africa came together in their local communities. From education, to orphanages, to animal shelters, and even beach clean-ups, the Eazi Access team generously donated their time and resources.
One significant contribution was the donation of a Linde H30 end-of-life unit to Sol-Tech, an accredited private vocational college with facilities including welding, engine rebuild, electrical wiring, hydraulics, automation, and PLC controls. The college, which is founded on Christian values and uses Afrikaans as the medium of instruction, provides young students with vocational training, developing them into skilled tradespeople with nationally recognised qualifications. This ongoing relationship with Sol-Tech aligns with Eazi Access’s goal of supporting the training of future Millwrights, Diesel Mechanics, and Electricians.
In March, Eazi Access joined Sol-Tech and Solidarity for the college’s first-ever Trade Day event, connecting students, exhibitors, tradespeople, and customers. Karl Thorington, Eazi Access Chief Business Development Officer, shared his excitement about the partnership, stating, “This is a smart initiative to help future technicians learn on our end-of-life fleet. Sol-Tech was very pleased with the Linde H30 donation, amazed at its condition even after 26,000 hours of use.”
Continuing with the theme of giving, the Johannesburg Sales Team, led by Alichea Spamers, visited St Janes Chantal Home—a non-profit caring for HIV-positive and abandoned children who often arrive undernourished and traumatised. The home provides a nurturing environment, meeting the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs of children from 6-month-old babies to teenagers up to 15 years old. The team donated a washing machine, food, and clothing to the home and spent time with the children.
The spirit of giving extended to Richards Bay, where the team organised two key initiatives. The first was a beach clean-up to help reduce plastic pollution and minimise environmental impact. The second initiative involved volunteering at the SPCA, assisting with maintenance tasks to improve the facility for both the staff and the animals.
The kindness spread across many other Eazi Access teams who participated in the Making Winter Eazi drive, donating blankets, non-perishable food, and clothing to various charities. This collective effort highlights Eazi Access’s commitment to “changing the world, one step at a time.”
