G.U.D. Filters is a socially responsible company with an investment programme in place that is committed to uplifting its surrounding disadvantaged communities.
   

Zenzele Primary School in Isipingo, who are the primary beneficiary of our social investment programme, had a shortage of desks that required as many as three students to share one desk.  G.U.D. reacted by donating ergonomically designed lapdesks, that fit neatly onto a student's lap.  In addition, together with Project Build, G.U.D. provided the tools and manpower to extensively renovate the classrooms at Zenzele Primary School.  The interior and exterior of classrooms were repainted, windows were replaced and the school grounds were cleaned up.

G.U.D. staff gave up of their time to
assist with the painting and
renovations at Zenezele Primary.		 Pupils from Zenzele Primary were delighted to receive G.U.D. lapdesks.
 

These improvements have provided pupils an environment which improves their quality of schooling.
Zenzele Primary School is an ongoing project, with G.U.D. Filters committed to providing continued support to the school and its surrounding community into the future.
   
In January 2010 G.U.D. came to the  rescue of Zenzele Primary School, who had not recieved exercise books from the Department of Education in time for the start of the school year. G.U.D. donated exercise books to the school thus allowing pupils to begin their school work without delay.

G.U.D staff went on a book drive during the early part of 2010 to collect reading books for a small library and reading room we wished to create for learners. Hundreds of books were collected, to help the learners improve their understanding and proficiency of English, and newly built library shelves were filled with books.

Bean bags and a colourful carpet added a vibrant feeling to the library to encourage learners to utilise the resource centre.
