Comment on promised benefits for local communities

De Wildt Solar benefits the Madibeng Local Municipality by funding programmes in education, water and sanitation, and enterprise development. The solar plant supports Early Childhood Development with resources and play equipment, addresses community water and sanitation needs, and allocates a portion of its revenue to promote local business growth. These efforts aim to build capacity, foster economic independence, and empower nearby communities. A notable community initiative includes the installation of waterless ablution facilities at the Rutanang HIV Care Centre.
