DigiOutreach Celebrates Heritage Day by Planting Roots for the Future 

This Heritage Day, DigiOutreach is proud to celebrate the spirit of growth, unity, and sustainability by supporting a cause that goes beyond the festivities.

Our donation of R25 000 to Greenpop has enabled the planting of 166 trees, a living tribute to our shared heritage and commitment to a greener and healthier South Africa.

 

Greenpop: Restoring ecosystems, reconnecting people

Founded in 2010, Greenpop is an award winning registered non-profit organisation dedicated to restoring ecosystems and inspiring environmental stewardship. From reforestation and urban greening to food gardening and environmental education, Greenpop has planted hundreds of thousands of trees and engaged communities across Southern Africa.

Their mission is rooted in the belief that when people connect with nature, they become inspired to protect it. By combining large-scale restoration projects with hands-on action and education, Greenpop continues to serve both the planet and the people who call it home.

 

A celebration of harmony and heritage

DigiOutreach’s Heritage Day celebration was not only about planting trees, but also about honouring the roots that connect us. Guests gathered to the joyful rhythms of a harmonic marimba band, a sound that resonates deeply with South Africa’s diverse cultural identity. The atmosphere was further enriched with the warmth of coffee and the sweetness of koeksisters, small but meaningful reminders of how heritage is carried through food, music, and community.

 

Planting and serving the planet

At its heart, Heritage Day reminds us of the importance of connection, to one another, to our histories, and to the earth that sustains us. By planting 166 trees with Greenpop, we are sowing seeds of hope that will grow for generations to come. Each tree is a symbol of resilience, unity, and the responsibility we all share to protect our natural heritage.

DigiOutreach is honoured to have played a role in this initiative. Our roots are stronger when we plant together, celebrate together, and look after the planet we all call home.
