Chaeli’s Upside Down Schools Challenge
Give your child the opportunity to thrive in Chaeli’s Upside-Down Schools Challenge! In collaboration with the Chaeli Campaign, this exciting hands-on competition helps kids learn about plant growth, sustainability, and responsibility.
Endorsed by the Department of Education and The Wits Centre for Entrepreneurial Thinking, this challenge is open to all learners across the country, ensuring an inclusive experience for everyone. It’s more than just gardening; it’s about cultivating life skills such as planning, perseverance, empathy, and time management—skills that will set your child up for success in school and beyond.
I invite you to enter your child today and give them the opportunity to learn, grow, and shine!
Win an incredible PlayStation 5 for growing the biggest, healthiest upside-down tomato plant!

Inclusion & Community
Help grow a smile (and a tomato!)
Not every child has the means to take part in the Upside-Down Tomato Challenge — but with your support, they can. In partnership with the Chaeli Campaign, we’re on a mission to make this a fully inclusive competition where all children — regardless of background or ability — can grow, thrive, and belong.
What your sponsorship does…
- Covers a learner’s full entry into the challenge
- Provides the materials needed to grow an upside-down tomato plant
- Supports weekly learning activities focused on sustainability, inclusion, and self-belief
- Helps grow a garden of opportunity, one can at a time

“Dear Cangro,
Thank you so much for allowing us this wonderful opportunity. We often spoke amongst ourselves at your great way with the children!
I was so impressed with your love and generosity with our learners. You have a well-coordinated team. Whenever you visited our school you were punctual and listened so patiently to all the stories that the learners had.
We wish you great success with the future and thank you for enlightening us and our learners.
Lots of love “
