Dorking - February 2026 – The FESPA Foundation has announced Durst Group AG as its first official 'Adopt a School' partner, marking a significant milestone in the Foundation's mission to leverage the power of print for social good.
The partnership was formalised during a recent visit to Malekapane School, where representatives from Durst, FESPA Foundation, educators and community leaders gathered to celebrate the beginning of a transformative collaboration.
This long-term partnership is designed to create safe learning environments, improve essential facilities, and ensure learners have access to the resources they need to succeed.
The initial focus will be on establishing a future kitchen facility for the school, addressing a critical need that will directly benefit students and staff alike.
. By aligning with organisations that share its values, the Foundation seeks to make a tangible difference in the lives of young people whilst demonstrating the positive social impact the print sector can achieve.
The commitment ceremony at Malekapane School brought together stakeholders from across the community, highlighting the collaborative spirit that will drive this initiative forward.
The partnership represents not only an investment in infrastructure but also a shared vision for creating opportunities and fostering hope amongst learners who face significant educational challenges.
