MY SCHOOL CARD

The “My School, My Village, My Planet, Programme” is one of South Africa’s biggest community programmes. They help to raise funds for schools, charities and environmental organisations through a system that allows cardholders to shop at our national and numerous local retail partners, who make a donation, on their behalf, based on the value of the purchase.

The system allows cardholders to make a difference to a worthy cause without it costing them a cent! The “My School, My Village, My Planet Programme” raises more than R3.5 million per month for the schools, charities, animal welfare and environmental organisations it supports. The “My School Card”, when swiped at “My School Card” partner stores, converts into points, which is then converted into a cash payment to the beneficiary.

Woolworths - You may link your Woolworths Card to the “My School Card”. Please see the website. http://d284f45nftegze.cloudfront.net/escs/My%20school%20card_appform.pdf
