A collaborative effort is underway to address water security in South Africa.
A team from Reckitt and WWF is tracking the journey of water from the Tugela Falls in the Northern Drakensberg to communities in Gauteng. This initiative aims to raise awareness and funds for water security projects in the region.
Tracking Water Flow from Tugela Falls
The journey begins at the Tugela Falls, a vital source in the Upper uThukela catchment area. The team will follow the water’s natural flow through the landscape, observing its path until it reaches urban areas.
This initiative highlights the importance of understanding local water challenges. By witnessing the journey firsthand, participants aim to deepen their knowledge of water security issues affecting communities.
Reckitt’s Commitment to Water Security
Staff and volunteers from Reckitt’s global offices are actively fundraising to support local water security projects. Their involvement goes beyond financial contributions; they will engage directly with the communities along the water’s path.
This hands-on approach is designed to foster a greater understanding of the challenges faced in ensuring water security for all.
Next Steps in the Journey
- Continue tracking water flow to Johannesburg.
- Engage with local communities to learn about their water challenges.
- Fundraise for ongoing water security projects in South Africa.
This journey underscores the critical need for sustainable water management in South Africa.
