Pay towards someone’s lay-by and become a PEP Lay-By Buddy.

What is a PEP Lay-by?

A PEP lay-by is a payment plan that allows our remarkable customers to reserve product while they pay it off in affordable payments over 4 months.

It's an accessible, interest-free way for families to plan ahead and secure essential products like baby clothing, school shoes and warm winter blankets without needing credit.

What is a PEP Lay-By Buddy?

The PEP Lay-by Buddy Initiative is all about community. Buddies help pay off someone else's lay-by because buddies don't let buddies wait. 

Born from the Random Act of Kindness movement, this initiative has grown into a powerful way to shorten the waiting period and financial obligations for families across South Africa. 

Every donation goes directly towards settling a real lay-by and you can contribute online or in-store.

Who benefits?

The families who benefit from the PEP Lay-by Buddy Initiative are remarkable customers from low-income households who are doing their best for their families to grow and shine.

The items they’re paying off are not luxuries - they are everyday essentials like school shoes, warm blankets and baby clothes. 

Your support helps ensure that these families can live each day with dignity and pride.
