PLANET FACTORIE FOUNDATION

FUNDING PROGRAMS THAT EDUCATE, SUPPORT AND EMPOWER

We launched our Planet Factorie Foundation in 2012 with the vision of empowering communities around the world. We didn’t want to just throw money at key issues, we wanted to invest in real time change; to involve our customers, our teams and our communities, to share experiences and encourage us all to think differently – we wanted to inspire with real purpose. To do this, we’ve focused our projects in areas of most need, including local communities in Southern Uganda and South Africa.

SOUTH AFRICA

Latest Project: Latest Project: In 2017 we completed several infrastructure updates at Jeppe Park Primary including the auditorium, dining hall and construction of an additional two classrooms as well as the introduction of a nutritious feeding scheme.

In 2016, our vision together has become a reality. Our first Planet factorie Foundation Community Project is now complete.

We’re excited to announce the opening of St Timothys School in Uganda!

With your support, it’s given us the confidence to aim higher and believe in supporting other local villages – so what’s next?

This year is going to be the biggest yet! We’ve set ourselves a new target – the building of another school in Uganda, in the village of Kensekka (pronounced “ken – sek – ka”). With a population of just 5,780, they have 364 students (195 girls and 169 boys) plus 10 teachers who require a dwelling in order to complete their education.

And it’s not just a new school we’re planning, it’s a dedicated health care program and infrastructure required to ensure there are no barriers to youth in Kensekka receiving a quality education. The exciting project includes:

10 classrooms
1 staff room
2 administration offices
Bio-gas kitchen
Incinerator
Toilet block
Amphitheatre
Staff quarters
School furniture
Reading and Literacy tools
Fully landscaped gardens and farming area
2 meals per day for every student

We’ve given ourselves a completion date of July 2017.

“Despite facing real poverty, Kensekka is one of the happiest communities. The people here are eager to improve their way of life and are excited for the new school and what this means for their children’s futures. I want to say THANK YOU for your help. Together, we will make a big difference to this community.”
- Father Nestus
