The FESPA Foundation, guided by ‘Print For Good’ is dedicated to transforming the specialty print and visual communications industry through sustainable practices, community supply and educational outreach.
The FESPA Foundation, (NPC) Registration number 2025/698380/08, is kindly requesting cash donations to help purchase a bakkie that is required to transport items to various under-resourced schools, many of which are located in remote areas.
For those companies who would like to show their support and have their logo included on the FESPA Foundation vehicle, there is a branding opportunity available for R25,000. FESPA Foundation will guarantee three years’ exposure and issue a Section 18A certificate.
The FESPA Foundation is currently helping to uplift these schools:
– Evane Combine School in Dlomodlomo (approx. 100km from Vryheid).
– Malekapane Primary School in Limpopo (30km from Lebowakgomo).
– Pitseng ya Thuto Primary School near Lebowakgomo.
– Madesei Primary School near Lebowakgomo.
– Batau Primary School, approximately a two hour drive from Pretoria on Moloto Road towards Marble Hall.
Phase two will entail working with another charity organisation based in Malawi to build a school there. Phase three entails a similar approach as that in South Africa where the FESPA Foundation will support schools in Tanzania and Kenya.
The FESPA Foundation aims to positively impact lives in sub-Saharan Africa by providing printed materials for early childhood development. The Foundation exists to combine waste reduction efforts with meaningful impact for young people living in challenging circumstances. The initiative was founded in October last year by FESPA CEO, Neil Felton.
The Foundation is currently headed by team leader Steve Thobela ka Mdlalose. He is an experienced print business executive with knowledge of running non-governmental organisations (NGOs), having served as the CEO of Printing SA, and managed one of the Nelson Mandela charity organisations.
