Well known for his philanthropy, South African billionaire and serial entrepreneur Quinton van der Burgh has once again put his talent and wallet to work to help others. The release of his coffee table book, 100 Making a Difference,
is set to benefit 143 charities on a global scale, while highlighting the work of fellow philanthropists around the world.
Working with celebrity photographer John Russo, van der Burgh is highlighting the work of social heroes and celebrates philanthropic individuals and organizations on a global scale. 100 Making a Difference features a collection of incredible photographs of passionate human beings who are dedicated to improving the lives of others through their tireless charitable work and the organizations they support.
These individuals include celebrities such as Christy Turlington, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Sugar Ray Leonard,
Oprah, Pharrel, Usher, Elton John, Eva Longoria, Serena Williams, MariaSharapova, Tommy Hilfiger, Gwyneth Paltrow.
“Many people around the world are in dire situations and 100 Making a Difference is a book that will, hopefully, remind people of how helping humanity should be at the forefront of your daily thoughts and actions” explains van der Burgh.
Charity work is not just lip service for van der Berg who in 2018, launched the QVDB Foundation and the #PayMyBills campaign to help South Africans who are drowning in debt. This initiative focuses solely on alleviating families’ financial burdens and providing individuals with the skills they need to join the workforce.
“I’m not just wanting to change someone’s life for a day but wanting to change someone’s life forever. Life is not defined by what you can accumulate, but by what you can give back, and I have made it my life’s mission to raise awareness and help others in support of global change and impact,” adds van der Burgh
The book is available for sale on www.100makingadifference.com , with proceeds being donated to all the organizations listed within the beautifully designed hardcover book. All monies from the sale of the 100 Making a Difference book will be divided equally between the foundations in the book.
