Citizenship GE has a proven ability to impact the communities where employees work and live — and beyond. In 2006, the Company rallied its philan- thropy resources to extend the impact to communities around the globe and focus on two central themes — education and healthcare. By integrating Foundation grants, product donations, Company contributions and volunteer resources, GE employees drove substantive change while fostering deep, personal connections that encouraged and inspired communities. Around the world, GE’s employees demonstrated a tireless personal commitment to work together and deliver great outcomes for communities in need. Employees and retirees combined for more than one million volunteer hours on key community initiatives and total giving by the Company exceeded $200 million in contributions from the GE Foundation and GE businesses. As Company resources continue to focus on U.S. and international education and healthcare issues, GE delivers on its commitment to becoming a good neigh- bor and a good global citizen. GE made significant strides in 2006 on the Africa Project, as part of an ongoing $20 million donation effort to bring improved healthcare delivery to rural communities across Africa. With the completion of seven additional sites in Ghana, the value of GE’s Africa investment to date exceeds $12 million and includes 12 hospitals and clinics. The program is now expanding into nine additional countries in Africa. Pictured here are children in Asesewa, Ghana, who will see the benefits of GE’s commitment to “early health.” 44 ge 2006 annual report
