My deep connection to Earth as Mother is why I support several nature charities including Tree Sisters and RSPB Bird Protection. Our future also depends on helping those less fortunate than ourselves. I believe in youth development and sponsor a room for a young homeless person at Centre Point, providing them a safe space and an opportunity to make a new start.

Growing up on an island created a special connection to the sea. I love spending time near, on or in the ocean and enjoy supporting all marine protection efforts – from releasing baby turtles in the Caribbean with the Palace Foundation to fishing out plastic with Gravity Wave – so that all marine life can have a safer environment for growth and sustainability.

In an increasingly interconnected world, I am passionate about helping to facilitate the exchange of knowledge. Whenever possible, I try to donate my time and resources to help manage and run various international educational and charitable online fundraising campaigns.

I believe knowledge is power! I have always wanted to be a woman of influence, having a positive influence on the youth of today. I became involved in a youth non-profit organisation called Riverside, allowing me to help young adults navigate life and prepare them for the working world. The more you know, the more you grow!

I strongly believe in paying it forward, giving back to society and the world in general, one small kind gesture at a time.My love and appreciation for the animal kingdom specifically, has played a large role in my life. As a result, I continue to support and give back to our local Animal Welfare Society. As part of its mission, the AWS sterilizes, re-homes, fosters, investigates abuse and neglect, and educates youth in their local communities.

I support DKMS – a blood donor recruitment centre and stem cell registry working to fight blood diseases. This cause is close to my heart having lost multiple family members to blood cancer. While they are focused on finding a cure, their work of providing support, education and guidance to the family and friends of those directly affected is vital in the greater healing and survival process.

I strongly believe in giving back to my community and the democratizing power of education; that´s why I sponsor and dedicate time to a local educational project that facilitates early schooling in vulnerable households and promotes reading in all school-aged children.

I strongly believe that children are the future, and because of this, I support the Santa Showbox Project. As a family, we work together filling shoeboxes with personalised gifts of essential items and treats for underprivileged children throughout South Africa and Namibia. Working with my family on this initiative teaches them the values of giving back to the community; one child helping means one less child goes hungry in a world full of plenty.

People and planet! Every product we purchase has an environmental footprint, everything we make has an impact on the planet. Ultimately I hope we can create a world where the products we use do not harm us, our communities, or our planet. Help our bodies and planet to heal-th.

I always volunteered passionately and happily at Moonprint – Concerts for the Earth. The cause combines two of my favourite things: saving the planet and listening to live music

I believe that every child deserves a chance to thrive, so I am proud to support Door of Hope in their mission to rescue abandoned babies and provide them with a loving and nurturing environment. My children and I love our time volunteering there by giving the babies extra love by helping to bath them, read to them, or merely cradling them to sleep.

I have always had a passion and love for animals and the environment. I support our local non-profit organization, New Beginnings, which rescues and rehabilitates animals. Volunteering and supporting such initiatives are important to me, as I feel that they give animals a voice! I believe that every creature deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, and I will continue to do that for the rights of all animals.

I enjoy working with people and taking a hands-on approach to get directly involved. To this end I have helped build houses with Habitat for Humanity in Kayelitsha, as well as bring a solar-powered cooking initiative to the township. I have also volunteered at the Emasithandane Children’s Organisation, a home for orphans and vulnerable children in Nyanga. I believe that if we each dedicate just a little of ourselves to helping others, we can create meaningful change in the world.

I am committed to preserving our oceans, safeguarding the welfare of animals, and uplifting the communities that depend on them. I take part in a variety of ocean conservation programmes and community initiatives that promote sustainability, support local businesses, and raise awareness. In addition, I donate to TEARS and the SPCA, two organizations dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating animals in need.
