We believe that every day gives us a new opportunity to bring joy to the world! A new dawn to deliver moments of delight to those who may not otherwise have a reason to smile. In 2021 we did just that with two particular initiatives that really stood out.
Food packing
We set out to reach a target of 1,000,000 meals, and through the extraordinary effort of our staff and ever-growing family of fans, we exceeded that target with a total of 1.3million meals. This is an incredible achievement. The right to food is a basic human need and fulfilling it has a massive ripple effect on society.
Melbourne Cup fundraiser
To celebrate our Aussie colleagues abroad, we joined in on the fun of the Melbourne Cup (Australia’s biggest horseracing event of the year). We encouraged our staff to dress up to the nines and they were able to ‘bet’ on the horses they thought could win. Collectively, we raised over R20,000 which we donated to two local animal rescue groups. It was absolutely amazing to be able to have such great fun whilst raising funds for charity. We’re big on animals here 😊.
Looking ahead to 2022
- Food parcels
We have set ourselves a goal to exceed 2021’s record of delivering more than 1.3million meals to the needy.
We have also created Wild Mongoo, which sets out to empower women in our local communities by teaching them new skills, helping them use those skills to create amazing products, and selling those products online on their behalf.
