Donate Water
Donate Water: Cape town is facing critical water crisis with dam levels at 22% capacity only. In order to quench the thirst of the citizens of Tzaneen, businesses and organizations gave a huge donation of water to reduce the water crisis in Cape town. The key donators in the Tzaneen project are, Gift of the Givers, Tzaneen Care Centre, At-Pet Trading and Oasis Water, Tzaneen. They donated generous amount of 5liter of 3400 water bottles in quantity which in total is equal to 17,000 liters water.
“Tzaneen Care Group” together with “Oasis Water” did extensive marketing through social media platforms. As a result of their marketing strategy they were donated ready-made 5 liter bottles of water. People would have to stand in a queue at public water pipes to collect 25 liter rations if “Day Zero” had arrived. Due to the generous donation the day got cancelled but the situation remains terrible. It has been informed to all residents to save water possibly every where.
The Donation Process
Volunteers from the community came together to label, fill and wrap the bottles at Oasis Water. Every week, “At-Pet Trading” collected each week’s prepared bottles and stored them at their storeroom. “Gift of the Givers” will collect the water from “At-Pet Trading” by the end of March and would distribute throughout the Cape.
The remaining monetary contributions will be donated to the Gift of the Givers Organization to continue with the cause.
