Upliftment Projects Fundraising
charitable initiative programs.
There is power in the arts to create awareness, and to raise funds to support significant social issues.
In order to increase a positive impact on the world, we have hosted Art Auctions that were a considerable success as thousands of Rands were raised, and proceeds supported have gone to various initiatives.
Auctions and fundraising efforts in 2016 & 2017 were in partnership with the American- and Argentinian Embassies, and proceeds supported underprivileged schools in townships surrounding Pretoria in Mamelodi with a positive impact. Functions were generously hosted by the Sheraton Hotel Pretoria and the Argentinian High Commissioner's Residence in Pretoria. Proceeds of the 2022 art auction went to the Cheetah Conservation & Research Centre. Louise also coordinated making 100 Ceramics Coil-pots glazed, fired, and filled with succulents as a Service-Learning Christmas drive for residents in a needy nursing home, Huis Silversig, Pretoria, 2021.
The collection of children's art, in printed card form, is sustainable for raising funds for our charitable initiative programs and has been in print since 2021. Louise is part of a Service Learning Team at The American International School of Johannesburg. Our team is committed to actively engaging and connecting with the local community through positive and meaningful interaction and positive change.
