About MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet
The MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet fundraising programme raises funds for schools through a card system
that allows supporters to raise funds for their beneficiary (school) every time they shop at our partner
stores. Partners make a contribution, on behalf of the supporter/cardholder, towards the school they have
selected.
The system allows cardholders to make a difference to a worthy cause without it costing them a cent! SSB
High School has raised over R8 350.00 from Mar 2014 to March 2015
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.
* Woolworths,
* Tafelberg Furnishers,
* Engen Quickshops,
* Reggie’s,
* Engen Foodstops,
* Power24 pre-paid electricity
* Waltons,
* MySchool Travel
* Toys R Us,
* Altech Netstar and many more.
How does MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet work?
More than 700 000 South Africans carry MySchool cards.
Supporters apply for a free MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet card and select SSB HIGH SCHOOL as their
beneficiary.
1. When they purchase items from participating retailers they swipe the card with the purchase.
2. A percentage of their transaction is then allocated to SSB HIGH SCHOOL.

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