Giving back
South Africa is a land affected by great hardship. Lionel Smit has handpicked a range of printed editions that are up for sale, donating all proceeds to non-profit organisations who are doing phenomenal work amongst local communities. By purchasing one of these prints, you make a direct impact on those who need it the most. Organisations benefitting from this initiative include Patch Helderberg and Heartlands Baby Sanctuary.
Lionel Smit Studio is a proud supporter of the organisations below. To make a donation or get involved, please follow the links:

Art Angels (The Click Foundation)
Art Angels (The Click Foundation) deploys online English literacy programmes in under-privileged primary schools across South Africa. The programmes offer young learners the opportunity to work at their own pace through fun and enjoyable activities, navigating their learning journey by means of technology. In doing so, the Click Foundation is not only addressing the literacy crisis but also equipping these young learners with the technological skills required for future success.
WILDAID
The illegal wildlife trade is a multi-billion dollar global industry largely driven by consumer demand in expanding economies. While most wildlife conservation groups focus on scientific studies and anti-poaching efforts, WildAid works to reduce global consumption of wildlife products and to increase local support for conservation efforts. We also work with governments and partners to protect fragile marine reserves from illegal fishing and shark finning, to enhance public and political will for anti-poaching efforts, and to reduce climate change impacts.
