Some people choose to be remembered after their passing by leaving a gift to a cause they care deeply about. At Pebbles Project, we are honoured to be part of the legacy of those who wish to make a lasting impact on the lives of children and families in agricultural communities. By leaving a gift to Pebbles Project in your Will, you can ensure that our work continues to transform lives long into the future.
If you would like to discuss leaving a gift to Pebbles Project in your Will, we would be honoured to speak with you and share our Legacy Plan. Please contact Sophia at sophia@pebblesproject.co.za, and we will guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have.
Jo Clifton was born on 24 June 1964 in Romsey, England. After completing her A-levels in English and Art, Jo pursued her passion for the arts by studying Fine Art at art and design colleges in West Surrey, eventually earning her BA (Hons.) in Fine Art from Exeter University in 1986. Jo then moved to Bristol, where she developed a deep interest in environmental conservation, which became her lifelong passion.
As an inspirational teacher and volunteer motivator, Jo worked with various charities, and during a round-the-world trip, she found herself in South Africa. There, she was captivated by the children she met, whose zest for life resonated with her own spirit.
Jo’s life was tragically cut short when she passed away on 1 August 2005. To honour her memory and continue her legacy of kindness and generosity, Jo’s parents decided to make an annual donation to Pebbles Project. In recognition of Jo’s spirit and the impact she made, two children are selected each year to receive The Jo Clifton Award, recognising their progress and commitment to their education.
Jo’s legacy lives on through the work she supported and the children whose lives have been positively impacted by her parents’ gift.
