Social Responsibility : Efforts Toward Surrounding Communities
Cargill ’ s efforts to improve each of its surrounding communities start with their own , by providing constant incentives to hired staff : subsidy for long commutes to workplaces , seminars on safety measures , and similar programs . Also the company takes as its own responsibility the continuous development of current sorghum growers in Nicaragua working for Cargill .
Over 80 NGOs work with Cargill along with 12,000 people in Central American communities in an effort to take animal protein into these villages . Cargill also performs intense benefit work for surrounding schools , adopting them to improve structural conditions , furnishing them properly and deploying their school meal programs , also taking animal protein to these learning centers where the meal program is a factor for increasing attendance rates .
The efforts favoring Salvador de la Selva rural school in the Los Madrigales community in Nicaragua stand out , as last April more than 140 students and teachers of this school received each a laptop computer , an indispensable resource for learning , considering current global demands .
