bonhappi-T is TWO! Here's How We Celebrated Our Birthday!

In August, bonhappi-T turned TWO! Instead of celebrating on our own we decided to share the happiness with the people we’re in business for - those you feed for a month when you buy one of our bonhappi-T shirts. Our people-feeding partner, FoodForward SA, supply food to over 600 beneficiary organisations, who feed people every day, thanks to food and monetary donations.

Some of the little people from Little People's Den

One FoodForward SA beneficiary is Little People’s Den Educare Centre in Milnerton. This pre-school serves disadvantaged children from the surrounding areas whose parents cannot afford to pay pre-school fees. The centre aims to provide foundation-phase education to these children, ensuring their early development is not compromised. In addition to this, they provide their learners with adequate nutrition to aid the learning process. Partnering with FoodForward SA has freed up funding for the school to take the children on monthly educational excursions around Cape Town, further enriching their learning experience.

Happy faces on their way to Intake Island

Choosing to spend our 2nd birthday with Little People’s Den was, therefore, a no-brainer. Each child received a party pack filled with sweets and toys and had fun with helium balloons and birthday cup cakes.

Want to share happiness when you #wearhappiness? Buy any tee from bonhappi-T.com and you will feed a hungry person or dog for one month.

Corporates & bonhappi-T meeting a Social Challenge

Companies face growing pressure to align commercial interests with social challenges.

One of South Africa's social challenges is the alleviation of hunger and the regular provision of nutritious food to underprivileged people. 14 million South Africans go hungry every day and another 14 million are at hunger risk.

Companies have seen how easy it is to make a social difference. They purchase special individualised corporate bonhappi-t shirts for conference gifts, company functions/events, for their employees to purchase individually etc.

In this way, they enrich both their employees and the communities in which they operate.

Here are a few bonhappi-T partnerships:

South Africa’s professional Rugby players wear special bonhappi-T shirts at corporate events which we print with their own design. So far 168 SA Rugby players and their MyPlayers bonhappi-T shirts have created 5208 days of feeding:

Unilever and FMI gave their Conference delegates, our graphic-design bonhappi-T shirts. We embroidered their logos on the sleeve. Together these employees created 9300 days of feeding: 

Ignition Group collaborate with bonhappi-T by ordering our t-shirts printed with their design. Staff use their salaries to purchase them and wear them to work any day and definitely Fridays! Their employees have created 15500 days of feeding to date:

Our NPO feeding partners are FoodForward SA (feeding hungy people) and the Do More Foundation (feeding homeless and hungry dogs with Bobtail).

Be happy 😄
