The Giant Flag is a world-first green innovation project that celebrates the spirit of South Africa, her land and her people, while bringing together job creation, clean energy and tourism. Become part of something that creates economic opportunities for the poorest of the poor, honours our incredible natural environment and showcases the awesome creativity that South Africa brings to the world!
We’re building a flag made up of millions of coloured desert plants and a four-megawatt solar field, on a previously barren tract of land. Viewable from space and the size of 66 soccer fields, the Giant Flag will not only claim its place as a natural wonder, but also as a new model of economic stimulus for previously-disadvantaged communities.
We need your help to make it a reality.
Adopt a plant, part of the white road or solar panel in the Giant Flag, and you’ll receive a personalised certificate with GPS coordinates showing the precise location of your contribution, suitable for sharing on social media, or printing and framing. Adopt in the name of a friend or loved-one for a meaningful gift.
Through your contribution, you will not only be buying a plant; you will be leaving a legacy for generations of South Africans to come. The South African flag was designed with a vision for building a country that not only works for its people but encourages us to work together for positive change. The Giant Flag will embody that spirit and serve as a living reminder of the true spirit of South Africa - for hundreds of years.
The word Camdeboo is derived from the Khoi word meaning ‘green pool’ or ‘green hippo pool’ from the Khoi Cam-/Kam- ‘green’ and -debo(o) ‘pool, hippo pool’. This area is steeped in heritage and culture and now that it’s home to the Giant Flag and you can help join us in putting the Camdeboo back on the map!

It's not just about the Flag - we’re also putting a South African community on the map. Through the creation and maintenance of the Giant Flag, we’ll be creating hundreds of green collar jobs, with women constituting a majority of the labour force.
We're not just seeding a few plants, we're growing a community that could become a model for a thriving sustainable development. Your contribution, big or small, has the ability to transform people's lives.
