Our campaigns

Giving is about more than just money. You can make a huge contribution to the greater good by sharing your ideas, your skills and your unique person power. Our campaigns offer you the chance to make a real difference in a way that suits you.

Donate-A-Book

Mother-tongue story books for South African children
Reading is freedom – it liberates the mind, boosts education and gives children real choices in life. Donate-a-Book starts each year on World Book Day in April and promotes literacy and the joy of reading in communities without access to books. The campaign is an opportunity for book lovers to donate South African story books written in the mother-tongue to a local pre-school or early childhood development centre. www.donateabook.co.za

Teachers Dream

Bringing learning to life
Teachers Dream helps South African teachers bring learning to life. Experiential learning is a vital part of outcomes-based education but many schools simply can’t afford to take learners on outings or organise inspiring activities in the classroom. Teachers Dream helps make these learning dreams come true. www.teachersdream.co.za

Do It Day

Sharing skills for one amazing day
Do It Day is the red letter doing day each year when people give their time, skills and energy to make a measurable difference in South Africa. Do It Day connects groups of volunteers with good causes for one amazing day, making it quick and easy for volunteers to sign up to projects online and giving them alternatives when they really are unable to spare the time. www.doitday.co.za

Gifts 4 Good

Give a gift that keeps on giving
Gifts 4 Good is an online shop with a difference. Alternative \'gifts\' – like bees to pollinate a community orchard or a birth certificate for an orphaned child – make a real difference to real people, facing very real problems in South Africa. It\'s a fun and meaningful way to give the whole year round. www.gifts4good.co.za

Make Christmas Matter

Celebrate the giving season
Each festive season from November to January, Make Christmas Matter gives South Africans the chance to discover the true joy of giving. We find alternative Christmas \'gifts\' – like books for a community library or a bed for an abandoned cat – so that it\'s easy for you to make a difference at this special time of year. GreaterGood South Africa carefully selects \'gifts\' from projects working towards the eradication of poverty in South Africa. www.makechristmasmatter.co.za
