Social impact strategy
Clarify purpose, focus areas and decision criteria to guide credible investment choices.
Projects
CSI that communities trust and boards can defend.
Independent Corporate Social Investment, community investment and mining Social and Labour Plan advisory for South African organisations that want credible, community-centred impact.
Who we are
Independent advice for investment that actually lands.
Tenfollow Projects helps businesses find credible nonprofit partners, design practical initiatives, implement them with confidence and report impact clearly and ethically.
We sit between corporates, mines and communities. That independence lets us give straight advice on where money should go, who should deliver it and how to prove what changed.
Our approach. Community-centred insight, practical implementation support, ethical guidance and professional reporting, so your CSI work is responsible, evidence-based and stakeholder-ready.
What we do
Eight services, one standard of credibility.
Use one service or the full cycle. Everything is scoped to what your programme actually needs.
Community needs assessments
Understand local context and priority needs so interventions are practical and relevant.
NPO identification and due diligence
Source and assess nonprofit partners for governance, compliance, capability and track record.
Programme design
Initiatives with clear outcomes, activities, roles, and realistic timelines and budgets.
Partnership facilitation
Align expectations between business and community partners and keep collaboration constructive.
Programme management
Coordinate delivery, milestones and partner engagement so implementation stays on track.
Monitoring and evaluation
Indicators, tools and routines that track progress and support learning and accountability.
Impact reporting and storytelling
Clear, ethical, stakeholder-ready reports and impact narratives that hold up to scrutiny.
Mining sector
Social and Labour Plans that deliver on paper and on the ground.
We help mining companies implement their Social and Labour Plan (SLP) commitments and stay compliant with the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources (DMPR) under the MPRDA and the Mining Charter.
An SLP is a licence condition, not a side project. We turn approved commitments into funded, managed projects with evidence that stands up at inspection time, and with host communities who can see the difference.
Skills that outlast the mine
Plan and track learnerships, bursaries, internships, AET and portable skills for employees and community members.
LED projects aligned to the IDP
Select, design and manage LED projects with municipalities so they match local Integrated Development Plans.
Host community engagement
Needs assessments, stakeholder forums and grievance processes that build trust with host and labour-sending areas.
Employee wellbeing plans
Support delivery and reporting on housing, living conditions and nutrition commitments.
Local supplier development
Identify, vet and develop local and HDP-owned suppliers to meet procurement targets.
Managing change responsibly
Prepare for downscaling and retrenchment so employees and communities are not left exposed.
DMPR compliance support
- Gap analysis of SLP commitments against delivery to date
- Annual SLP compliance reports and supporting evidence packs
- Preparation for DMPR inspections and audits
- Drafting and amending SLPs for new or renewed rights
- Mining Charter reporting on HRD, procurement and community development
- Section 102 amendments where projects need to change
