SAHA believes that the MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet programme is one small but important way that many South Africans are able to join together to demonstrate support for education, community and environmental non-profit organisations (NPO). MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet allows anyone to raise funds for up to three of their favourite schools and / or causes in South Africa by shopping at certain shops that partner with the programme. MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet is South Africa’s biggest community support programme which raises funds for schools and non-profit organisations in order to improve education and social development. MySchool supporters who have a blue MySchool card can also use their card at other MySchool partners in order to maximise the contributions made on their behalf.”This festive season, please help SAHA to archive for justice and accountability by getting a free MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet card, listing SAHA as a beneficiary, and swiping your card to donate each time you shop at a wide range of South African shops. You can indicate on the application form that you would like to participate and you’ll be contacted to set up your MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet beneficiary.Īs long as your card is linked to the programme, says Twine, “Every time you swipe your card at Woolworths – whether it’s a Woolworths store charge card, Visa card, Difference card or blue MySchool card – Woolworths will donate up to 1 percent of the value of your purchase to the charity of your choice. The Difference card is free and everyone qualifies. Apply for a MySchool card on the MySchool web site, or get a Woolworths Difference Card and enjoy other exciting benefits as part of Woolworths ‘world of difference’ loyalty programme. ![]() If you are not already a supporter, becoming one is almost as easy. “In fact, even if you are already a MySchool supporter, you can add one or more MyVillage or MyPlanet beneficiaries to your beneficiary list,” says Twine, who explains that the full list of beneficiaries is available on the MySchool web site (“All you need to do is select the organisation or organisations you’d like to support and call MySchool on 0860 10 04 45 to add them to your list.” By broadening the scope of beneficiaries, we’re also giving other community-minded customers – those who do not have children or whose children have finished school – the opportunity to support worthy causes every time they shop with us and our partner retailers.” At the moment, there are over 400 000 active MySchool supporters. ![]() He adds, “South Africans have a long and proud history of helping one another. Extending the MySchool programme to include charities and environmental organisations through MyVillage and MyPlanet is just one of the ways Woolworths is working to meet these goals.” Says Pieter Twine, who heads up the project for Woolworths, “As part of our Good business journey, Woolworths has committed itself to driving social development in South Africa as well as to working to protect the environment. Now Woolworths has announced that additional community-based and environment-focused organisations have been added to the list of beneficiaries.Īmong the charities supporters can nominate are the National Sea Rescue Institute, the Guide Dog Association for the Blind, the Tygerberg Association for the Blind, Cheshire Homes (Port Elizabeth), Snap (an organisation dedicated to helping children with autism), and Heartbeat, an NGO dedicated to providing support and care to orphaned and vulnerable children. With the launch last year of MyVillage and MyPlanet, selected charities and environmental organisations were added to the list of beneficiaries of this fund-raising programme. Now even more charities and environmental groups stand to benefit from this successful programme.Įstablished in 1997, MySchool has been operating on a national basis since 2003 and today raises funds for some 10 000 schools around the country. ![]() Woolworths contributes in excess of R18 million every year to schools, charities and environmental organisations around South Africa through the MySchool My Village MyPlanet programme. ![]()
