These bursaries, sponsored by MySchool, are available to all Woolworths customers as part of a competition which will run until Tuesday, 31 January 2017. To qualify, customers simply need to swipe their MySchool card or linked Woolworths card every time they shop, and every item purchased is an entry. Double entries are earned when purchasing children's wear and school wear.
A key element of Woolworths’ business journey has been a commitment to making a difference in South Africa through a range of community programmes and, in particular, schools and education.
Woolworths has partnered with MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet, one of South Africa's number one community support fundraising programme, since 1999 and over that time has given back nearly R400-million to assist a range of charities, animal and environmental organisations, and schools.
Zyda Rylands, CEO of Woolworths South Africa, says, “Birthdays are traditionally a time of giving and in celebrating 85 years of Woolworths it’s important that we both give back to our communities and take time to reflect on our heritage and the values that are intrinsic to our business. Most importantly, we would like to thank our people, our suppliers, and our customers. Without them, we would not be where we are today as one of South Africa’s most respected companies."
