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 ...

Gift of the Givers team received an urgent call from Mr Nedi Malie, a Ward Councillor in Pearston, #easterncape📍, along with community leaders, requesting immediate assistance due to severe water shortages in the town. The situation had persisted for an extended period, with many of the boreholes supplying the town's water system being non-functional. This crisis had far-reaching consequences, affecting funeral homes, school operations and basic daily activities like cooking, drinking and laundry for residents.

In response, the team provided water tankers to Pearston.

📌 Read: Gift of the Givers to send aid to Libyan flood victims via cargo plane from SA and an airlift from UAE.

Gift of the Givers has been receiving calls from the Libyan Presidency, their Disaster Centre, the Libyan Ambassador to SA, Libyan doctors in SA, students and civilians from Tripoli and Derna, requesting highly qualified personnel to assist their distraught nation who have had an extremely difficult week brought on by Storm Daniel and the collapse of two dams resulting in a "tsunami-like" impact. Thousands of lives have been lost with many thousands missing, thousands are in need of health care with decomposing bodies putting the population at high risk of water-borne diseases in an already fractured environment.Gift of the Givers responded instantly with an initial team of seventy on standby including medical, search and rescue and aquatic specialists with all the relevant equipment, communication systems, life locator and boats, supported by our partners, Gauteng and Limpopo EMS, CPUT, SARZA and SAPS K9 Unit with dogs and handlers.Logistics and security was going to be the limiting factor. The safest way to get to, within 180km of Derna was to land a chartered aircraft at Tobruk. We tried unsuccessfully with nine private companies to hire a plane. The high risk situation in Libya with many armed groups, two separate governments(one in the East and another in the West) and the exorbitant flight insurance made it practically impossible to find a carrier, the one that agreed had a price tag of R16 million. The Libyan Government offered to send a flight to fetch our teams. We refused for several reasons. They graciously acknowledged and accepted our concerns.However, we did not want to leave the Libyan people empty handed in the hour of their greatest need. They have requested body bags, formalin, medical supplies, consumables, PPE's, gloves, baby food, fortified food and energy drinks. Al Shifa Holdings, a private benefactor, will send a cargo plane to collect. They are arranging clearances with OR Tambo International for arrival on Wednesday. Gift of the Givers will fill the plane. In addition we are in discussion with medical companies to airlift medical supplies from UAE to Tripoli.Those wanting to support this humanitarian initiative can deposit into Gift of the Givers, Standard Bank, Pietermaritzburg, Account number 052278611, Branch Code 057525, reference Libya Floods.Image credit: Al JazeeraTo contribute towards our interventions visit:🌐 : www.giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference📞 : 0800 786 911#GiftoftheGivers #MakeADifference #ForTheGreaterGood #DisasterResponse #Flood #SA #SouthAfrica ...
