To date, MySchool has funded several thousand educational projects in South Africa – ranging from critical, basic needs in poverty-stricken communities, to more advanced needs such as computer centres, mobile libraries and sporting facilities. “We work in partnership with schools across South Africa with the aim of improving education at a foundational level. Pieter Twine, MySchool’s general manager, says that over the years the fundraising platform has played a significant part in improving the quality of education in the schools that participate in the programme. We would like to use this opportunity to encourage all our customers to get involved and affect real change by simply signing up for a free MySchool card, or by linking their Woolies card to the MySchool programme today,” says Rylands. “While we are delighted to have reached this milestone, the challenge to improve education in South Africa is an ongoing task and we remain committed to playing our part. Every swipe of your MySchool card contributed to helping us meet the needs of schools, charities and communities across the country.” “I am proud to say thank you to our customers and to South Africa as a whole for rising to this challenge – together we did it. Woolworths CEO, Zyda Rylands, describes the achievement as a positive step in ongoing efforts to ensure that every child is given a chance to get a good education. This was done through MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet, a leading fundraising platform which contributes more than R1-million per week to over 7 000 schools, charities, animal welfare, and environmental organisations across South Africa. The ‘Raise R100-million for Education’ campaign was launched in 2015 when Woolworths pledged to accelerate our efforts to raise R100-million for education in South Africa.

The campaign is part of Woolworths’ and MySchool’s ongoing commitment to improving the quality of education in South African schools. This milestone could only be achieved thanks to the support of customers and active MySchool cardholders who participated in the campaign between April 2015 and December 2016.
