Pasdec has always been committed to investing in the welfare of the communities in which the company operates. Since establish its plant in Lobatse, Pasdec has continued this proud tradition.

Pasdec has for a number of years supported the initiative, which has been recognised by education and social authorities as being one of the most important developments for schoolgirls, particularly in poor and rural areas. According to UNESCO, one in ten girls in sub-Saharan Africa misses school during their period while others lose 20% of their education making them more likely to drop out of school.
