THE TRUE STORY OF 2 SCHOOLS IN UPINGTON:

Over the past 21 years Fanie Malan Preparatory School and Op die Voorpos Primary School in Upington did our fundraising projects every single year! They both did sales of more than R3,35 Million each, and each earned more than R830 000 in commission. This for 2 adjacent schools in Upington. What a testimonial for what is possible for any school.

WIN! WIN! WIN!
Our top schools also receive prize money to the value of 3% of their total project turnover. We divide all schools in 4 categories that is determined by the number of pupils in the school. Each category winner receives the extra 3%, but the 1st ,2nd and 3rd placed schools in each category also receive a product hamper from Ina Paarman.

Typical products and order examples:

– Ina Paarman’s Coat & Cook Sauce R38
– Señor Chef Braai Collection R120
– Biggi Microwave Popcorn R19
– Señor Chef Mild Curry R26
– Safari Berry Chews 4x32g R38
– Walker Bay Spice Big Salt Chrystal Grinder 360g R52

TOTAL – R293

Let’s take an average size school with 600 pupils.
If each pupil only gets an order of R293 at their own home, the total turnover is already R175,800. From this, the school gets R175,800 x 25% = R43,950.
BUT WAIT: Each pupil receives 5 order forms. Imagine the turnover if each pupil returns all 5 completed order forms. A school can earn a commission of far more than R210,000 in 2 weeks!
