Donations
For almost 85 years, many individuals, companies and organisations have donated funds to WESSA in recognition of what it has achieved and to provide resources to enable it to do more. We thank those donors with much appreciation.
However, we certainly need further donations to be able to continue to do our work – for the benefit of people and the environment.

2. http://www.doit4charity.org.za/
WESSA has recently signed up with this initiative. Doit4charity is based on a concept which has proved successful in countries such as the UK and USA. The team at Doit4Charity created a website that would make it easy for non-profits to involve people from all walks of life in fundraising on their behalf, at no cost or inconvenience.
From their website: http://www.doit4charity.org.za/
“Since the launch of this site, people like you have raised R636 345 for 50 different South African charities.
If you're planning to run a marathon ... enter a cycling event ... or climb Kilimanjaro ... been dared to bungee jump or skydive ... or you are celebrating a milestone birthday or anniversary – why not use the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate?
Support your favourite cause (WESSA!), help others, and make your own achievement more meaningful. Use this website as a platform to gain sponsorship from your friends, family and business contacts:
choose any charity you want to support – we suggest WESSA!
set up your own fundraising blog to process donations online;
challenge your family, friends and colleagues to sponsor you;
keep everyone informed of your progress.”
3. My Planet Programme
From the website: ‘The MyVillage MyPlanet programme was launched as an extension of the MySchool programme, to provide community minded individuals the opportunity to support a worthy cause without having a prior relationship with a school.
If you don't have children, or your children have already left school, and you wish to continue supporting a worthy cause with every swipe of your MySchool card, then this option is perfect for you.
We classify Planets as organisations that focus on the improvement and protection of the environment and animals.” http://www.myschool.co.za/schools/myvillage-myplanet
WESSA is now a beneficiary for “My Planet” – we encourage all WESSA supporters to go to the link above, and select the WESSA option on the beneficiary list. You will then receive a MyPlanet card, which you can present when you are shopping at any of the MySchool partner stores. That store will donate a percentage of your purchase to the beneficiary of your choice. There is no cost to you!
THANK YOU.
