dc.description Corporate play significant roles to improve the social welfares of the communities besides making a profit out from them. As of this reason, many corporate companies in recent years outline corporate social responsibility as one of the key goals they attempt to achieve. This study attempted to assess the contribution of corporate social responsibility towards the improvement of social welfare at Wazo ward deploying a case study of Twiga Cement Company. It specifically aimed to determine employees’ perception of corporate social responsibility, to establish the extent to which corporate social responsibility contributed to community development and to establish the link between corporate social responsibility and social welfare. The study used both qualitative and quantitative design to collect, process, analyze and present data. The study involved a sample size of 68 respondents who were selected through purposive and random sampling methods. The findings of the study reveal that that Twiga cement company is devoted to supporting the community by engaging on the number of activities such as planting trees campaign with aim of reducing negative impacts of the air and gases produced from the industry and as well in the conservation of environment around the company. The company also has so far initiated a number of programs and opportunities ranging from environmental education and employment opportunities. Additionally, the findings show that the company engages in supporting entrepreneur and disabled people and HIV victims to the community nearby. The study recommends for the government of Tanzania and responsible authorities to ensure implementation of laws, acts and policies that guarantee Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to the community. While there are clear policies that stipulate the need for the company to engage on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to the the community there seems to lack force in their implementation. It also recommends Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to put more emphasis on empowering the local community by embarking on the provision of relevant skills and knowledge as to secure jobs in companies present in their areas.
