R0 of R100 000 raised
With South Africa experiencing a water deficit of 38 billion cubic metres annually and needing an additional R30-billion a year to bridge the gap in water services infrastructure, the situation is a daily living nightmare for thousands of people. The country’s emergency Plan B – underground water reservoirs – is in danger of rapidly evaporating.
One by one South Africa’s rural towns has succumbed as a catastrophic drought tightens its grip, turning vast areas into ground zero.
Residents of the Western Cape town of Beaufort West are all too familiar with the crisis. Already, 20% of the town’s municipal drinking water is recycled sewage. The local dam is at 0% capacity.
My goal is to raise money for the people to have clean drinking water.
