WOOLWORTHS INCLUDES HABITAT FOR HUMANITY SOUTH AFRICA IN IT’S MYVILLAGE PROGRAMME /assets/52/MySchoolMyVillage_logo.jpg

What if you could raise money to assist those without a home every time you shopped? Now you can!

Whenever you swipe your MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet card at participating retail partners, that store will donate a percentage of your transaction amount to Habitat for Humanity South Africa if you select them as a beneficiary.

The programme helps to raise more than R1.5 million every month for the charities and schools that it supports. You can ensure that Habitat for Humanity South Africa receives a much-needed portion of these funds by simply swiping your card when you shop.

How can you make a difference?

1) Apply for your card online (www.myschool.co.za – go to the MyVillage MyPlanet page) or via the Client Service Centre (0860 100 445). If you already have a card, but would like to change your beneficiary, simply call the Service Centre. You don’t need a new card.

2) Once you receive your card, simply start swiping it with every purchase at participating stores. National partners include Woolworths, Engen convenience stores, kalahari.net, Quiksilver, Waltons, Reggie’s, Toys R Us, Club Travel, Supa Quick and Jack’s Paint. Various local partners are also signed up (such as restaurants). Locate the partners in your area on the website: http://www.myschool.co.za/index.php/partners )

3) Supply MySchool with your email address in order to receive their monthly newsletter. This will show you how much funds you have helped to raise.

Remember, every swipe builds !
