Spend. Win. Give: Alunamda’s Win Turns Into a Gift for Young Learners

At Karri, we love moments that remind us what this journey is really about: helping families manage money safely — and creating opportunities for communities to grow stronger together.

Our Spend. Win. Give campaign does exactly that. Every win comes with a feel-good twist: a prize for the winner, and a meaningful donation to a cause close to their heart.

This month, we celebrated a very special winner.

Meet our winner: Alunamda from Thornton Primary School

Alunamda, a learner from Thornton Primary School, was announced as our latest Spend. Win. Give winner — and his prize came with double the impact:

• R1,000 loaded onto his Karri Card
• R1,000 donated to a charity of his choice

Alunamda’s win was exciting, but what stood out most was how thoughtfully he approached the giving part of his prize.

The charity he chose: Living Through Learning (LTL), Diep River

Alunamda selected Living Through Learning (LTL), a non-profit organisation based in Diep River, because of the real difference they make in the early years of education.

LTL focuses on supporting learners in the foundational phase, helping to strengthen the building blocks of learning through:

• Improved literacy and numeracy outcomes
• Focused academic support for young learners
• A structured, supportive learning environment
• Stronger foundations for long-term academic success

For Alunamda, the mission of LTL was clear: when learners are supported early, their future becomes brighter — and that’s exactly why he chose them.

Handover day: a proud moment for the whole family

The handover took place on Friday, 27 February at 12:00, at the Living Through Learning premises in Diep River — and it was a day filled with pride, excitement, and purpose.

Alunamda arrived with his entire family, making the moment even more meaningful. Together, we celebrated his win and handed over the donation to the LTL team.

During the visit, we also had the privilege of receiving a tour of the LTL offices, giving us a closer look at the work happening behind the scenes to support young learners every day.

Capturing the moment

We captured some special content from the day, including:

Why Spend. Win. Give matters

Spend. Win. Give isn’t just about rewards — it’s about teaching kids that money can be used wisely, responsibly, and generously.

With the Karri Card, children get the freedom to learn real-world money habits, while parents stay in control. And with Spend. Win. Give, learners also get to experience something powerful: the joy of giving back.

Congratulations, Alunamda!

We’re proud of you, Alunamda — not only for winning, but for choosing a charity that supports learners right at the start of their school journey. Your generosity will help make a real impact where it matters most.

And to the Living Through Learning team: thank you for the work you do every day to build stronger foundations for South Africa’s future learners.
