A South African start up is looking at charity in a different light… they call it bonhappi-T… we call it fashion for good!
Thought up and put together by Durbanites Susan Wright and Felix Schmitz, bonhappi-T is a new, revolutionary South African start-up launched on 10 August this year – just 1 month ago!
bonhappi-T creates and shares happiness.
Most people, given the chance, love to help others in need but often simply don’t know how to. The company provide a quick, easy, fun way to do it.
They make meaningful helping-out a part of everyday life.
Their vision it to connect people who can with people who can’t.
“We use a simple mechanism. As most people buy t-shirts fairly regularly, we offer Ts on the one hand and as hunger is widespread and something everyone can relate to, we offer the provision of food to the underprivileged, on the other.”
One t-shirt, feeds one mouth for one month! And for Mandela month… the bonhappi-T team are making sure that the one t-shirt you buy, feeds one South African for 67 days!
“At bonhappi-T, we feel that many of the values and ideals Madiba held and shared so wonderfully during his lifetime are closely aligned with our own. Launched towards the end of 2016, bonhappi-T is a Fashion for Food company connecting those who can with those who can’t.”
“The concept behind our brand is simple: for every item you purchase through bonhappi-T, you’ll feed a hungry mouth for a month. In this way happiness is spread to two sets of lives – you, the bonhappi-T wearer and food donor, as well as the person who is having their nutritional needs satisfied for a month.”
“To celebrate Mandela Day and the remarkable legacy of our famous former President, we’re running a special during July that ties in with the 67 minutes towards positive change that is a hallmark of the occasion.”
“Every T-shirt bought from bonhappi-T.com during the month will results in 67 days of feeding – 36 days more than the standard. It’s a great opportunity to help feed the disadvantaged people in our communities and spread some cheer in honour of the great man himself!”
R299 gets you a great t-shirt, delivered to your door in a couple of days and also feeds a mouth for a month. When you wear your T and people comment on it, you can talk about it, pay it forward and get another mouth fed for a month… And that is how the bonhappi-T happiness movement grows.
“Our plan is raise awareness about the plight of hunger and at the same time… feed millions of hungry South Africans!”
