About 300 rhinos have been killed by poachers this year in South Africa. That's 300 too many. You can help support rhino conservation in two easy ways. Read on to see how.
BUY A RHINO BAG
For every reusable rhino bag sold, Woolworths will donate R10 to the WWF to help combat rhino poaching.
We’d like to give a big thumbs-up to our customers, who’ve bought 70 000 of these bags so far, which means that Woolies has given R700 000 to support these efforts.
What’s more, when you buy these bags, you’re not only helping to save the rhino – you’re also helping a small local BEE company, Isikhwama, which employs over 80 people who make our reusable bags. Get your bag now
You can also sign the petition on Woolworths Facebook page
WATCH THE VIDEO
If you’d like to see a very moving meeting between the women who started Isikhwama and a rhino, scroll down to watch the video.
Featured in the video is Magrieta, the factory manager at Isikhwama, who make Woolworths "rhino" bags. Her dream was to see rhinos in real life. In some small way she is helping to save the rhinos from extinction. This is her story.
SUPPORT RHINO CONSERVATION THROUGH MYPLANET
Link your Woolworths card to MyPlanet – or get a MyPlanet Card. Simply choose the Endangered Wildlife Trust MyPlanet Rhino Fund as your beneficiary (you can have up to three).
Then, every time you swipe your card at Woolworths, we’ll make a donation on your behalf.
As the fund’s ambassador, conservationist and 50/50 presenter Braam Malherbe would say, Do One Thing – get a MyPlanet card and support rhino conservation.
