The 8th annual Jet Community Awards is officially open for entries with more than R1 million in prize money up for grabs for local community heroes from South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho and Swaziland.
For the past seven years, the Jet Community Awards has been celebrating the extraordinary achievements of ordinary people working within impoverished communities from across Southern Africa. Representing retail brand Jet’s flagship community upliftment programme, the annual Jet Community Awards aim to reward those individuals or organisations who give selflessly of their time, energy and talents to build and empower families and vulnerable individuals at grassroots level.
Says Jet Club Manager, Antashia Sassman, “Every year, more and more citizens from the competitions’ five participating countries are contributing to meaningful social transformation. After honouring seven national winners and 42 regional winners in last year’s Jet Community Awards Programme, we invite even more entries this year, and look forward to rewarding the extraordinary achievements of a new generation of community heroes in the 2010 Jet Community Awards.”

The Jet Community Awards invites entries annually from citizens of South Africa (made up of the Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Kwa-Zulu Natal, Gauteng, North West, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape and Free State provinces), Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho and Swaziland, specific to those individuals or organisations that have made a compelling contribution to the wellbeing of their communities.
The 2010 Awards will recognise community projects and grassroots organisations in the four categories of “Education”, honouring organisations and individuals focusing on school-level programmes of excellence in literacy, maths, science and technology; “We Care”, organisations / individuals who focus on (a) people with disabilities, specifically in terms of care, support and empowerment, as well as initiatives that deal with people with disabilities and (b) Abused women and Orphaned and Vulnerable Children (OVC) specifically affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic; “Vukuzenzele” which recognises entrepreneurs and development centres that help create jobs and stimulate economic development. There are three awards within this category – namely awarding black (African, Coloured, Asian) women in business; youths in business (18 – 35) and small businesses in rural areas; and “Environmental Waste Management” which recognises organisations / individuals that focus on reducing or eliminating waste production as far as possible so that there is less impact on the environment.
