Benoni Primary School

Lighting the way, one lantern at a time.

One hundred people. One hundred rand. One brighter school. A simple monthly pledge — for the books, the grounds, the safety and the classroom technology that keep our school going.

What your R100 lights up

Every pledge feeds a single fund that the school allocates across the four areas that make the biggest difference to a child's school day.

Learning materials

Books, readers, kits, stationery. The everyday resources that turn classrooms into places children want to be.

R100 = 4 new readers for a Grade 3 class

Grounds & sport

Playing fields kept level, netball nets replaced, cricket bats and soccer balls that don't have to be shared 30 ways.

R100 = one week of playing-field maintenance

Safety & security

Fencing that holds, gate motors that work, cameras and lighting that don't need constant repair.

R100 = one section of perimeter fencing

Classroom technology

Projectors, laptops, connectivity, teacher training. The bare minimum for a modern classroom in Benoni.

R100 = a month of classroom internet for two grades

Three ways to give

All three pay into the same 100 for 100 fund, all three are tracked publicly, and all three qualify for a Section 18A tax invoice on request.

Questions, answered

How exactly do payments work?

Monthly pledges run through PayFast recurring billing or a debit-order mandate — you choose which when you sign up. Once-off gifts and lump sums go through PayFast's standard checkout, which accepts card, EFT, SnapScan, and Zapper. All money lands directly in the school's PBO bank account. No card details are ever stored on this site.

Is my personal information safe?

Your email, phone number, ID and full name stay private with the school office. On the public audit ledger, only your first name and suburb appear (e.g. "Priya · Actonville"). If you'd prefer to appear anonymously, tick the box on the pledge form and the ledger will show "Anonymous · Actonville" instead.

Can I get a tax invoice?

Yes. Benoni Primary is a registered Public Benefit Organisation, and donations qualify for Section 18A tax deductions. Tick the box on the pledge form and the school will issue a receipt for the annual total in February for the previous tax year.

Can I pause, change or cancel my pledge?

Anytime. Every reminder email or WhatsApp includes a manage link. You can also email the school office or reply STOP to any SMS reminder.

How is the money actually handled?

Donations flow directly into the school's official PBO bank account. The 100 for 100 fund is reported on separately from the school's other income, and the audit ledger above updates whenever a donation comes in or a project is paid for. The school also publishes a quarterly report and an annual financial summary.

What happens once we hit 100?

The campaign continues — 100 is the starting line, not the finish. Once we reach the target, we celebrate publicly, publish the impact so far, and set a new stretch goal.
