About the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation South Africa

The Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation was established in 2012. Since its inception, more than 1 million people, mainly children, have benefitted from the three programmes across 43 countries. The programmes raise awareness about crucial social issues, including water safety, drowning prevention, wildlife conservation, education, and poverty. The Foundation focuses on three pillars: ‘#Educate2gether’, ‘#ChasingZero’ and ‘#Feed2gether’.

#Educate2gether aims to educate the public about the dangers of water and drowning, teaching children preventative measures to decrease water-related mortality, and teaching people how to swim.

#ChasingZero sees us raising funds to protect the rhinos and educate our children about wildlife conservation and preservation.

For #Feed2gether, we joined hands with the Louis Oosthuizen Foundation57’s iPapa57 Feeding the Children programme to raise funds to produce specially formulated maize products for children between the ages of 3 and 5.

To date, the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation has taught 2,507 children to swim and 27,242 children essential water safety skills through their 23 projects in South Africa.

The Foundation also uses the transformative power of sport by giving children access to a variety of sporting disciplines through its Sport and Education initiatives like the Water Bike Challenge.

Introducing “The Don’s Table”: A Journey into the Heart of Don Julio’s Legacy

Introducing “The Don’s Table”: A Journey into the Heart of Don Julio’s Legacy

Posted by | Sep 15, 2023 | , , |

About Don Julio

The legend begins in 1942, when a young Don Julio González sees a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in tequila production. He didn’t own much, but what he did possess was a dream and the singular devotion needed to bring it to life. After sharing his vision with a local businessman, he’s granted a loan to start his first tequila distillery, La Primavera, in the Jaliscan Highlands.
For the next forty years, Don Julio González would devote his life to making the world’s finest tequila. Each day he’d wake up early to walk along the agave fields, cutting the grass around each individual plant to protect it. With a coa in hand, he’d carve flavor from every piña, expertly balancing the bitter and sweet leaves of each agave. And when it came time to harvest, he’d harvest each plant one by one, picking only the agaves at optimum maturity and health.
