Conservation project, My Rhino, donates to Kariega Foundation
My Rhino is an anti-poaching awareness and fundraising initiative that sells beautifully crafted ceramic rhino's with a portion of the proceeds going to the Kariega Foundation. To date, My Rhino has raised R35 000 for the Foundation, and they were also recently part of the St Stithians Girls Prep 'My Rhino Project' which raised over R11 000 for the Kariega Foundation.
The organisation was founded by Heidi and Nicholas Snaith. "We truly believe that by what we are doing – we can make a significant difference. Our aim is to take the My Rhino brand internationally – we are now creating a My Sea Turtle and My Whale Collection that will be launched in 2014" comments Nicholas.
My Rhino has exhibited at many events and conventions around the country since their inception in 2012, and they regularly exhibit at locations in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
My Rhino introduced 'Paint your own Rhino' this year, and the first project was done at St Stithians Girls Prep in May. All the girls bought and painted their very own rhino's with a portion of the proceeds going to the Kariega Foundation. A big thank you to the St Stithians girls and parents and to all those involved in this fun and creative project for rhino conservation.
