All funds donated towards Herschel Girls School go directly to funding learnership staff annually. These staff members receive a small monthly salary, university tuition and prescribed textbooks all paid for out of the MySchool proceeds. Once qualified, they can take up permanent teaching posts and have the benefit of teaching experience.

How it Works

Supporters apply for a free MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet card and select up to three (3) schools and/or charities as their beneficiary/ies.

When they purchase items from participating retailers, they swipe the card with the purchase.

A percentage of their transaction is then allocated to their beneficiary.

The partner stores pay the contribution on behalf of the cardholder. All these transactions are recorded, and a statement is sent to individual supporters monthly. The supporter card is not a credit or debit card but simply tracks transactions and funds raised.

Swiping Your Card

The success of the programme depends on the number of times you swipe your card. Supporters can use their cards at a range of national, regional, and local retail partners on the MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet system. Some of the national partners include Engen, Flight Centre, Loot, Netstar, Power24.co.za, Waltons, Woolworths, Woolworths Rewards, WorksheetCloud and many more.
