Water Shortage South Africa

हर कोई एक सहायक, एक नायक हो सकता है - यह आसान है।

Low rainfall in parts of South Africa has caused severe drought and water scarcity. Five out of our nine provinces have been declared disaster areas.

Harrowing stories from children competing with cows for drinking water to farmers committing suicide, echoes over our barren land.

As in the case with most disasters, humans do come up with creative solutions and show compassion towards each other, not forgetting our four legged friends.

A wave of volunteers are setting up networks within towns, cities and villages to donate, collect and transport water to disaster areas. The water goes to a multitude of destinations. Each destination uses the water sparingly to meet their individual needs.

One example is clean drinking water in villages. As lakes dry up, mud mixes with the remainder of the water. Animals and humans often have to compete for this precious water. Donated tap water are being used in elderly homes for laundry and washing.

You too can be part of this exciting initiative. We need all hands on deck.

Our motto: We do what we can, where we are, with what we have...and so can you...
