C.S.R. Policy in DITSU

In 2004/2005 DIT Students’ Union introduced a Corporate Social Responsibility programme in response to the Tsunami disaster in Indonesia.  DITSU sponsored two ex sabbatical officers who volunteered to spend 6 weeks working in the worst affected areas.

In 2005/2006 DIT Students’ Union sponsored three students who worked in various projects from working in a Tsunami Volunteer Centre to refurbishing old computer for communities in Kenya.

Each Summer since then, DIT students have been to such places as Calcutta, Kenya, Malawi and lots more, giving their time and we have been very happy to support them.
