Food company Danone NutriDay announced in April Nageng Primary School in Gauteng as the beneficiary of its NutriDay Tubs2Classrooms learning centre. The company will build a library for the school, made from strong, lightweight bricks that have been converted from its recycled yoghurt tubs. Tasneem Bulbulia expands.
Tasneem Bulbulia:
Last year, Danone launched NutriDay’s Tubs2Classroom campaign. Eighty primary schools across three provinces collected yoghurt tubs to be turned into lightweight bricks to build a classroom for a school in need.
Danone Southern Africa corporate affairs head Leanne Kiezer spoke to Engineering News onsite at the school, about the campaign, on the day the announcement was made.
