Welcome to our Corporate Social Investment initiative, One Bucket Splashed Dreams. An ambitious endeavour aimed at painting color in the dreams of 1 million Grade One learners, one classroom at a time.
About the Campaign
The One Bucket Splashed Dreams Campaign focuses on repainting Grade One classrooms in underprivileged communities across South Africa, targeting to reach and impact 1 million beneficiaries. We believe every child deserves an inspiring learning environment, and by adding a splash of color, we can foster success, productivity, and positive behavior from the earliest stages of development.
We have partnered with the Rami Chuene Foundation to realise this goal.

Many schools in these areas suffer from neglect and inadequate funding, and through this campaign, volunteers and donors can help bridge the gap, providing children with a more conducive learning environment.

It brings together individuals from various backgrounds to work towards a common goal, fostering a sense of community and solidarity.

- Legacy Building: Volunteers and donors become part of a lasting change that transcends the immediate impact, contributing to a legacy of improved education and community upliftment that will benefit generations to come.
