In the aftermath of the recession many consumers are struggling to manage their personal finances. To assist consumers and to give back to the community, Compuscan Academy hosted FREE money management workshops countrywide.

Compuscan is a proud sponsor of the Child Witness Centre in Somerset West. We make sure that the centre has enough resources to prepare sexually abused children so that they will be able to face the terrifying court environment.

MORE ABOUT THE CENTRE

Appearing in court can be a very frightening experience for a child, especially if he or she has been sexually abused. The abuse itself, and then having to give evidence in court, not once, but over and over again, easily becomes a very traumatic experience for the child.

Children often experience a great deal of stress in court, and the methods via which evidence is elicited, creates confusion and inaccuracies. The trauma is increased as it is a strange and formal environment, especially if the child and family do not have an understanding of the function of the court and the trial process. Court rooms are also unfriendly and intimidating places for already traumatized children.

We at Compuscan have always been caring supporters of our community.

In 2004 we took the initiative to start funding ‘The Village Kids Nursery School’, situated in Garden Village, an economically depressed area in Somerset West, South Africa.

The Garden Village area has been ravaged by unemployment and poverty and the new nursery school was seen as a ray of sunshine for many children who were faced with the social ills surrounding them
