Working with communities

We strive to create a better future through and beyond the bounds of our core business. Our approach to Communities and Corporate Social Responsibility is to secure and maintain lasting relationships with those communities closest to our operations and activities. We want to be a trusted partner to our host communities throughout the life cycle of our operations.

Fundamental to this approach is the shared understanding of the impacts and benefits our business brings. Using our local knowledge, we engage with communities and develop programmes that reflect mutually agreed priorities.​​​​​​​

Our Key Focus Areas

We support community programs focusing on Health, Education, Livelihoods Development, Infrastructure and Environment.​​​​​​​


Education

Education is a powerful tool that opens doors to opportunity, drives social mobility, and plays a pivotal role in reducing inequality. It serves as a cornerstone for breaking the cycle of poverty and nurturing progressive societies. At Hima Cement, we believe in making a positive impact beyond our core operations. One way we do this is by contributing to the enhancement of access to learning opportunities through school infrastructure development, providing scholastic materials, supporting teachers and offering scholarships for secondary education.

Partnering for Health

We are deeply committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of our host communities. Through targeted health programs, mobile medical outreaches, maternal health initiatives, and partnerships with local health providers, we strive to bridge critical healthcare gaps. Our focus is not only on immediate medical support but also on creating long-term, resilient health systems that empower communities to live healthier, more productive lives.​​​​​​​


Livelihoods Development

We work hand in hand with local partners to equip our host communities including the youth, women, and vulnerable groups with practical skills, entrepreneurship training, and access to income-generating opportunities. From supporting agribusinesses to vocational training and enterprise development, our initiatives aim to uplift households, strengthen local economies, and create a future where every community member has a chance to thrive.

Social Infrastructure

We understand that quality infrastructure is key to unlocking community potential. That’s why we invest in the development and rehabilitation of essential social infrastructure such as schools, health centers, water systems, and access roads in our host communities. These projects are designed in collaboration with local leaders to ensure they address real needs and create lasting value. By improving access to basic services, we’re laying the foundation for healthier, more connected, and more resilient communities.
