The Woolworths Water Fund was established two years ago in response to the South African governmentÕs declaration that the drought in South Africa is a national disaster. In partnership with My School My Village MyPlanet, it aims to raise much-needed funds for the installation of rainwater harvesting tanks at under-resourced schools across the country. To date, 31 schools have been provided with proper water infrastructure in the form of 2 x 10 000 liter tanks, piping, guttering, fixing of boreholes, filtration systems and pumps. The next phase of installations is planned for the Eastern Cape, with 18 schools already identified as beneficiaries. Installation of water tanks is on a needs basis, and we will continue to do so as the need arises.
