DO YOU HAVE A MY SCHOOL CARD?

Now's your chance to use it to make a big difference to your favourite charity!

Simply vote for Siyabonga Africa in the MySchool | MyVillage | MyPlanet R1 million Vote4Charity Challenge to help us win a share of the R1 million up for grabs.

How it works:

1. Select Siyabonga Africa as your favourite charity
2. Enter your MySchool or linked Woolworths card number to vote
3. Share your vote to boost your donation.

Every vote is worth R5, which MySchool will donate on your behalf, and if you share your vote on social media they will double their donation to R10!

That's not all ... 5 lucky voters will also win a R5000 gift card each! So it's a WIN–WIN situation.

Help us reach our goal of 1000 votes, which could potentially generate R10000 for Siyabonga Africa.

What does this mean for us? R10000 equates to groceries for 80 impoverished people for a month or helping 10 young people become computer literate. It could provide life skills for over 140 youth or Early Childhood Development training for 8 aspiring creche owners.

So please cast your vote and make a difference.

If you don't have a MySchool Card, there couldn't be a better time to get one. Sign up instantly online or get the App here. There is no charge and – apart from helping Siyabonga Africa by voting for us – you can also help raise funds for us by swiping the card every time you shop at Woolworths and other participating stores.

What We Do

Siyabonga Africa creates opportunities for unemployed, poverty stricken and destitute people to discover solutions to their situation, and provides seed funding to encourage entreprenuership.

Community Care

In kind donations of food, clothing, blankets, toiletries, second hand furniture and other items are distributed to needy members of the community, whilst our iDesk provides access to information and resources that can help them get back on their feet.

Street to Feet

Over 4 500 homeless people live on the streets of Johannesburg, sheltering in doorways and under bridges. We aim to rehabilitate them, by providing transitional housing and basic neccesities while creating opportunities for them to make improved life decisions.

Buyisa Ubuntu Food Bank

Managing one of the largest Food Banks in Gauteng, on behalf of the Department of Social Development, we distribute food parcels, clothing, cleaning supplies and emergency aid to those living in dire poverty, as well as those affected by fires, floods and illness.

Skills Centre

This programme aims to give underserved youth the opportunity to gain marketable skills. We not only train students in technical skills, but also life skills so they are better equipped to become agents of change for themselves and future generations.

Small Business Development

By far the biggest socio-economic challenge in South Africa is the high rate of unemployment. We work with small and micro-business owners to help them to sustain and grow their businesses, by providing training and a vital link between them and funding partners.

Income Generating Projects

Income generation models (e.g. egg farming, bakeries, vegetable gardens) are piloted at Siyabonga Africa and upscaled or replicated to create jobs. Most projects not only provide an income, but also address social or environmental issues such as food security.
