We are all dependent on water for life… it’s the very necessary foundation for our growth and development. However, it is a scarce and dwindling resource in many areas of the world, and especially South and sub-Saharan Africa. A need exists to ensure people become increasingly responsible about saving and utilising water efficiently.
When disaster strikes, water takes on even greater importance, leading to our organisation having played a necessarily active role in assisting under-resourced communities secure access to safe, potable water and hygienic sanitation facilities, an undertaking against which we have delivered since the inception of Gift of the Givers.
From drilling boreholes and installing rainwater harvesting operations, to establishing purification systems and distributing bottled water, we have the flexibility to rapidly adapt to a community’s requirements, delivering water provision solutions which most appropriately ensure the sustainability of life.
Gift of the Givers team is providing much-needed assistance to the community of Emabaleni, located just outside Fort Beaufort in the #easterncape📍. The community has been struggling with a lack of running water, and the water tankers that occasionally arrive often, do not provide clean drinking water for those in need. As a result, many residents have resorted to hiring a bakkie or donkey cart to load their water drums and collect water from a nearby river, which is also drying up.The team arrived with water tankers and community members of all ages came out to collect water and express their gratitude for our assistance.To contribute towards our interventions visit:🌐 : www.giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference📞 : 0800 786 911#GiftoftheGivers #MakeADifference #forthegreatergood #WaterProvision #sa #southafrica ...
