Looking after future generations

The Mouton Foundation is funded primarily through sales and has its basis in Fairtrade premiums generated through our association with retail foundations such as Albert Heijn and Waitrose. Funds generated in this regard are directly proportionate to the sales of our goods to these merchants. A democratically elected management body made up of Mouton Citrus employe

es is tasked with the administering of the aforementioned means. Our projects are conducted within the following themes:

Protecting our children starts with awareness, education, and open conversations.

As part of our lead-up to Child Protection Week, we visited our preschools and local high school with important age-appropriate awareness programmes aimed at empowering children and young people to recognise unsafe situations and know where to seek help.

At our preschools, two talented actresses brought the story of Parmant to life, teaching our little ones an important message: “It’s my body, and I can say NO, NO, NO.” Through storytelling and interactive learning, children were encouraged to understand personal boundaries and body safety in a way they could relate to and remember.

At the local high school, learners engaged with a powerful performance addressing the realities of cyberbullying, bullying, and su***de. These difficult but important topics opened the door for meaningful discussions around mental health, respect, and seeking support.

Following the performances, we returned to the school to distribute information and ensure learners knew where they could turn for help, guidance, and support when facing challenges.

Every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and protected. Creating safe communities is not the responsibility of one person or organisation—it requires all of us to play our part.

As we observe Child Protection Week, let us continue working together to protect, support, and empower the children in our communities.

Today we celebrate two remarkable young women from our farming communities who have successfully graduated. 🎓
This achievement belongs not only to them, but also to their families, the children who will look up to them, and the wider community. When one person shines, they light the way for generational change and lasting impact 🙌
We are incredibly proud of these two students for their perseverance, hard work, and commitment.
May this be only the beginning of a future filled with growth, purpose, and opportunity. 🌿

Took our 2025 Grade 12s on an inspiring career guidance trip to West Coast College in Citrusdal today! 🌟
Youth unemployment continues to be one of our biggest challenges here in SA, but we’re not standing by — we’re actively helping our young people make informed future choices.
Through self-development workshops and equipping them with the right knowledge, skills, and mindset, we’re building employable, confident youth ready to step into the world of work or further studies.
Proud of these future leaders taking proactive steps! 💪

In collaboration with and , a very first MiniSASS was hosted.
Children from our local farming communities rolled up their sleeves, dipped nets into the water, and discovered the incredible mini-beasts that tell us how healthy our rivers really are 🦐🔬
Seeing their excitement was pure magic. This is more than just science – it’s about growing the next generation of river guardians right here in our valley. 💚
