Our Charity

The Marie Stander School of Art Charity Art Auction has been running since 2001. Since its inception, proceeds from the auction have been dedicated to supporting underprivileged children and schools in and around the Stellenbosch area, primarily through educational initiatives. These include providing school uniforms, stationery, and sponsoring extracurricular needs such as sports equipment, musical instruments, art supplies, and other enrichment activities.

Additionally, we run a feeding programme in Jamestown, a small rural community just outside Stellenbosch, where we provide warm meals, fruit, and bread to up to 200 people four times a week. As part of our outreach, we also feed up to 60 dogs and cats daily with high-quality pet food.

There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.
