MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet celebrates 21 years

The winning beneficiary organisations will be chosen from the list of nominations to each receive R100 000 and the supporters who nominated them will each receive a R1 000 Woolies giftcard, on May 21.

MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet has launched the 21 Years of Giving Back campaign with R2.1-million to be given away to 21 causes, in celebration of its 21st anniversary.

MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet supporters are invited to nominate any South African charitable organisation that matters to them until the end of February.

Originally an innovative school fund-raising concept, the programme has evolved over the past 21 years so cardholders can also support other causes close to their hearts.

MyVillage beneficiaries are a wide range of human development and care charities, while MyPlanet refers to those beneficiary organisations whose work involves animal welfare, conservation and environmental causes.

Each cardholder can nominate up to three beneficiaries and donations are made by participating retailers on their behalf, at no cost to them.

MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet general manager Pieter Twine said: “We want to encourage our supporters to also consider bringing local, smaller organisations doing heroic work in their communities into the fold, for whom the giveaway of R100 000 can make a considerable difference.”

If you are not a cardholder, you can sign up for free at www.myschool.co.za or download the MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet app, nominate the causes that matter to you and be part of the active citizenship our country needs.
