Pyramid Schemes Masquerade As Direct Sellers In S Africa

 
There is a thin line, nowadays, between network marketing companies, or multi-level marketing companies, and pyramid schemes. Particularly where the former has a business model that involves attracting sales agents by rewarding them for selling products to their network of friends and family, and setting up teams of other people – who also want to start their own business selling the product – and getting a percentage of their sales revenue.
 
People end up receiving solicitations from their friends or family to take advantage of a ‘unique opportunity’, with promises of financial independence and the allure of a lifestyle that comes with ‘being your own boss’.
 

“I really believe that, as an industry, it makes a difference in the lives of people that have few opportunities,” says Ernest du Toit, chairperson of the Direct Selling Association

WorldVentures Foundation: Empowering Children In South Africa

 
 
Consider this: a staggering 3.7 million children under the age of 18 are currently orphaned in South Africa due to HIV. For others, their families are unable to care for them financially. Couple that with malnutrition (currently at an all-time high in South Africa), and you have very critical issues that need to be brought to the forefront.
The WorldVentures Foundation™ (WVF), the philanthropic arm of WorldVentures, wanted to take an active role in helping those affected by these crises. So in February 2014, WVF collaborated with Botshabelo Community Development Trust for its first ever South African Service Day.
The event’s purpose was clear—to help educate and nourish children in South Africa. With that in mind, both organizations teamed up with Sizanani Children’s Home, an organization dedicated to developing, empowering and caring for people with disabilities, and Prettify Your Township, a project focusing on beautifying pre-schools in dilapidated conditions to encourage learning, to renovate a daycare building and a foster home, while developing a food garden in the community of Olievenhoutbosch, Gauteng to combat these issues and provide an effective solution.

In July, WorldVentures Foundation was back in South Africa for its second day of service, which was just as successful as the
