Two Cape schools to benefit from Project Waterdrop

So far, two schools located in impoverished communities namely Ocean View ELSN (Education for Learners with Special Needs) and Kleinberg Primary will be receiving boreholes with solar pumps from Jacaranda FM's Project Waterdrop.
The City of Tshwane also contributed R30k. Dianne Broodryk from Jacaranda FM, Willem Strauss, president of the BBRU and Solly Msimanga, executive mayor of Tshwane

At the end of last month, during the Super Rugby clash between the Vodacom Blue Bulls and the DHL Stormers, close to thirty thousand people joined the radio station in a bid to raise much-needed funds for the project.

The borehole installations come at an estimated minimum cost of approximately R50,000 per school – offering sustainable and cost-effective assistance to those in desperate need during the water crisis. The first borehole is scheduled to be drilled on Friday, 22 June 2018.

“We also collected more than 210,000 litres of water on the day, which the team at DHL has kindly offered to transport to Cape Town. This is a fantastic start and we’d like to encourage individuals and companies to please continue contributing in the months to come to enable us to help many more schools.”
