TRADITIONAL SANTA SHOEBOX - Since 2006, 1 301 508 Shoeboxes have reached underprivileged children throughout South Africa and Namibia. Santa Shoebox donors choose their beneficiaries by name, age and gender and are given each child’s clothing size.
Donors are able to track their Shoebox from the moment it’s pledged to the magical moment it’s handed to the child.
Every Santa Shoebox must contain all 8 specified items, chosen with the underprivileged child at heart. These are a toothbrush, toothpaste, facecloth, soap, sweets, school supplies, a toy and an outfit of clothing – all new, unused and age-appropriate. Every Shoebox is checked upon drop off to ensure compliance and to protect the safety of the children.
VIRTUAL SANTA SHOEBOX - These are purchased online by donors – the Generic is available year-round, while the Personalised version is available from Mandela Day onward. The VSS meets the need of donors who live far from drop-off points and are delivered to children in far-flung rural areas. Components are chosen by the donor on the SSP website and the Shoeboxes are packed by the SSP Team. A Virtual Santa Shoebox contains all 8 specified items as well as additional items such as a lunchbox and books, and costs R500.00 plus an optional delivery fee of R30.00.
SSP LEGACY - All operating costs of the Santa Shoebox Project are covered by its main corporate sponsors. SSP Legacy brings permanent change to the lives of Santa Shoebox beneficiary children and to the impoverished communities in which they live, by establishing new and transforming existing Early Childhood Development Centres in rural South Africa, with the focus on infrastructure & DBE (Department of Basic Education) registration, teacher training, early literacy and water solutions.
We’ve built 6 schools, trained thousands of teachers and installed hundreds of reading corners in under-resourced Early Childhood Development Centres, impacting an additional 170 thousand children in need.
