Why Businesses Support the SPZA

Beoptimized

Jurgen van Run of Beoptimized on why he helps SPZA: "Questions I ask myself: why should I help people? Well, because it's important. Who are you going to help? People who need it. And how can you help? In any way possible. I figure that all help is welcome, always.

We note that our online marketing company is successful, that there's a solid foundation. There needs to be a relationship between the needs and wants that you can realize and the time and resources you can spend on others. Personally, I subscribe to the SPZA's principles. My kids have everything, go to school every day and are offered chances that not everyone gets. It's strange actually! And then you meet these great people trying to meet a goal. And with our knowledge and expertise in Internet marketing, we can play a small part in SPZA's success. It just feels good."

De Hazen

Chiel Weverling and Dennis van den Brink, owners of De Hazen.
"The pleasure that we derive from working for SPZA comes from the good that such organizations do. It's good to know that our expertise can do its part toward a better, more honest world. We wouldn't think of asking for payment from people who act from necessity and love. That money is better spent where it's truly needed. In this case, on educational activities in the townships of South Africa. That's what non-profit is all about."

The Word Counter

Clem Herman, Principal, Translation agency The Word Counter: "SPZA does human things: helping, offering, encouraging. They put themselves on the line for people and for a place dear to them - South Africa, the townships. There's no guidebook for the initiatives they undertake. They just react to what is apparent (to everyone) and make the best of it. They are convincingly good at it. And this appeals to us. Their transparence, approach and scale, too. The Word Counter operates on a different plane but shares their philosophy. We're pleased to be able to share our capabilities with the SPZA."
