South African billionaire and serial entrepreneur Quinton van der Burgh has released a coffee table book to benefit 143 charities worldwide.
Titled 100 Making A Difference, the publication features the work of celebrity photographer John Russo.
"I believe that we all must work together to make a positive impact in the world," Quinton tells Channel24.
After several years of conceptualizing, Quinton van der Burgh has collaborated with celebrity photographer John Russo to release 100 Making a Difference. The coffee table book celebrates philanthropic individuals and organizations on a global scale and will aid charity.
About his passion for charitable work, Quinton tells Channel24: "I have achieved so many of my goals that when I now wake up in the morning, I ask the question "why?" in everything I do.
"I have my Quinton van der Burgh Foundation that has changed people's lives across Africa, and the work that I do each day affords me the opportunity to give back and make a difference. I am driven by chasing more goals and working towards a legacy of making a difference."
Published by the author's own publishing company, Quinton van der Burgh Media, 100 Making A Difference highlights the most impactful social champions in the world, from activists to celebrities totaling 143 charities from across the globe. The book 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.
100 Making a Difference features photographs of celebrities such as Christy Turlington, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Oprah, Pharrell, Usher, Elton John, Eva Longoria, Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, Tommy Hilfiger, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Quinton himself.
Working with the world-renowned photographer was something Quinton wanted to materialize since he first met John on the set of his Men's Fitness cover shoot in Las Vegas a few years ago. "John is undoubtedly the number one celebrity photographer in the world, and I knew that 100 Making a Difference needed backing for it to see the light of day," he says.
"Philanthropy work is close to my heart, and showcasing others who are also trying to make a difference in the world is very important to me. This book will not only raise money for the charities in the book but will also give the people photographed an opportunity to be recognized for their philanthropy away from their usual celebrity status."
In 2018, Quinton launched the QVDB Foundation and the #PayMyBills campaign to help South African residents who are drowning in debt. This initiative focuses solely on alleviating families' financial burdens and providing people with the skills they need to join the workforce. He says the 100 Making a Difference initiative is a compilation of such an incredible body of work, and it is something he is "proud to be a part of."
"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," he adds.
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. I have further partnered with AXIA Capital bank, and we have set up a Covid Relief fund that aims to help foundations around the world during these incredibly tough times. This will be the first global initiative of many that I plan to roll out in the years ahead," says van der Burgh.
AXIA has committed to donating $10,000,000 USD worth of AXIA, in today's value, that will be distributed evenly across all organizations to show support and appreciation for the efforts of each worthy cause. The project will assist further by donating an additional extra 6% for each book sold to the foundations in 100 Making a Difference.
For people feeling anxious about the future, Quinton offers some words of encouragement, saying: "We need to be more of a global community working together for the common good of all mankind.
"I believe that we all must work together to make a positive impact in the world, and this will be the first global campaign of many that I will be rolling out to raise awareness, money and attention to foundations that are aligned with my ethos."
