There are plenty of good things happening in South Africa, and wine.co.za is proud to be participating in the StreetSmart South Africa programme, where customers who purchase wine can then donate as they check out of our Online Shop. This year, StreetSmartSA celebrates doing good for 15 years, and for the last 5 years, they have raised over R1m per year, which goes directly to organisations who work with vulnerable children within the communities which raise the funds. At the birthday celebrations on Monday 3rd Feb, a few restaurants who have been regular and long-term supporters of StreetSmart South Africa were also recognised for being the top contributors. La Mouette (in Sea Point) where we were hosted for the celebrations, were honoured for being the top contributor for 2019, followed closely by Gold Restaurant, Nonna Lina, Moyo Zoo Lake, Chatters Bistro, Foliage, The Fat Fish – Plett, Wellington Wines, Nguni Restaurant, Jordan Restaurant, Stacked Diner, Aubergine, Belvidere Manor, Social Eatery @ Knysna Hollow, and Moyo @ Kirstenbosch. The Top 5 restaurants contributed almost R300 000 of the R1m received in 2019. It is such a simple way to make a difference. We live in one of the most unequal societies in the world, and the R5 which you can add to your restaurant bill will make a big difference in some child's life, through education, skills training and family reunification programmes. I challenge EVERY SINGLE restaurant, especially in the winelands and Helderberg area, to get on board. There is simply no excuse.Click HERE to sign up and see more HERE I Do good. #wineforgood
