You know that heart breaking moment when your petrol light comes on and you can no longer avoid going to your trusty BP station?
Thanks to Litres for Education, you can now feel proud when you see that light, because you will be making a difference while you fill up.
The educational trust was started about three years ago by owners of BP Moore Road in Durban, Graeme and his wife Zelda Schewitz.
“Our vision is to build a network of donor service stations across the country and in so doing afford every single motorist the opportunity to get involved in bettering our country, one litre at a time,” said Graeme.
Their vision has reached the Dolphin Coast, with BP Ballito, Salt Rock and Sibaya jumping on board this empowering wagon.
BP Ballito owner, Hans Jansen van Vuuren, is particularly proud to be part of this initiative because it gives a grudge purchase a purpose.
“It is important to make a difference at home and Ballito businesses are always confronted with assisting charities. With Litres for Education, you can make a difference and contribute without giving money,” said Jansen van Vuuren.
For every litre you fill up, ten cents are donated to the charity or school of your choice. It is as simple as that.
So how can you start giving back by filling up?
Either go onto the website litresforeducation.co.za and sign up or go to the petrol stations mentioned and get the sticker for the charity or school of your choice. Once you have your sticker with its unique code, you just fill up as usual, while changing someone’s life.
Pop to the Courier office to pick up a sticker for the North Coast Courier Orphan Fund and start filling up, so that they can continue to help orphans on the Dolphin Coast.
Remember that by helping the Orphan Fund, you in turn help many North Coast organisations it supports such as the Rose Zwane Orphanage, Siphiwe Maphumula, Bread for Life, Summerhill House and many more.
Besides the Orphan Fund, you can also donate to KwaMama, Umhlali Preparatory and many others who are registered with the trust.
