Glencairn provides breakfast for 500 children each morning and training programmes for adults not employed in the mines, Knoll said.

Knoll estimates his company has spent several million dollars on such programmes, but has been accused by NGOs of trying to bribe local people.
However he is in favour of a government report card or audit system.
"Financial investors are increasingly interested in the environmental and social record of companies," he said. "Making that record public would be a good thing."
