JOHANNESBURG – 
For 22 years MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet has been helping South Africans make their contribution towards schools, charities, animal welfare and environmental organisations across the country. 
And in those 22 years, South Africa’s biggest community loyalty programme has raised over R650 million. That is a staggering amount of money – with every cent being put towards a good cause.
When the programme was founded towards the end of 1997, only R1 971 was raised. The following year was the company’s first full calendar year and South Africans who signed up to the programme managed to raise R13 265. Over the years, that number has increased in leaps and bounds, with 2018 closing on R84 872 648 in funds raised.
