ABOUT US
WHO ARE WE?
The Charity Calendar is the largest annual producer of A3 calendars in South Africa. Each year, we produce a striking photographic calendar containing images capturing a specific theme – from landscapes to wildlife and nature to far flung destinations such as Myanmar, India, Antarctica, Namibia and the Okavango.
WHO IS BEHIND THE CALENDAR?
The Charity Calendar was started in 2005 by Lex van Vught (LPSSA), a keen amateur photographer, together with his daughters. In our first year, we printed and sold 300 calendars which has steadily grown to producing approximately 9 000 calendars every year. To date, we’ve raised a total of R4 million for our beneficiaries.
WHO BENEFITS?
The full proceeds of our sales are donated to charities which support orphans and vulnerable children in South Africa. Today, this comprises 16 different organisations including schools, children’s homes, safe houses and crèches. All funds raised go towards providing basic services such as nutrition, infrastructure improvements, training of caregivers, and provision of school uniforms, textbooks and educational toys.
CORPORATE GIFTING
Because our calendars can be branded with your logo, they make excellent corporate gifts for clients and staff. Buying our calendars can form part of your CSI initiatives as well. You can also select your own beneficiary, with provision that they serve a cause supporting vulnerable children.
