The #Big200 campaign
Thanks to the combined fundraising ideas of Stacey Varkel and Cara Saven, The Big Issue was able to launch the #Big200 Campaign in 2015. The aim of the campaign has been to get 200 people to pledge R200 per month to The Big Issue in support of our work, so we are able continue to do the work we’ve been doing for the past 21 years.
As detailed elsewhere on our website, The Big Issue not only produces a fantastic monthly magazine for budding micro-entrepreneurs to sell on the street, we also provide social and skills support and training to ensure that our programme participants are able to maximise income from magazine sales.
As with most non-profit work, we need your support to be able to achieve what we do. Your membership of the #Big200 would go a long way to making a BIG difference.
Spread the Message
Spread the message as far and wide as you can – if each one of you gets at least 5 friends/ colleagues/ family members to pledge their R200 per month, we’ll get there in no time. And it’s so easy to do.
