Support the Waterfall donation drive
WATERFALL – The Waterfall donation drive has received over R200 000 in donations.
A Waterfall-based community initiative, driven by Attacq Foundation, the Waterfall Management Company, Mall of Africa and Waterfall Corner has launched a drive to feed hundreds of community members.
The team kick-started the drive by donating R180 000 to the Mfudumalo Foundation, with which they could purchase perishable goods that were distributed to those in need.
The Waterfall donation drive outlined donations of set amounts on social media which saw many contributions. The drive has been humbled by the generous donations they have received so far.Following the initial launch, the team worked with Checkers at Mall of Africa to purchase goods and have them packaged and ready for collection by Mfudumalo Foundation.
Collections have taken place each week since the start of lockdown and it will continue as long as donations come in during the crisis.
COO of Attacq Group Jackie Van Niekerk said, “It has been phenomenal to see the spirit of ubuntu truly shine throughout our country during these difficult times. Each one of us has a role to play to assist the most affected people in our communities. We are grateful to the selfless members of the Waterfall community who heeded the call for support.”
At the time of publishing, the Waterfall donation drive had received R227 500 in donations. After the kick-start donation, generous donations have streamed in from residents within the Waterfall development. With these donations, 600 families with an average household size of four have received food items from the Mfudumalo Foundation.
The drive team thanked all those who have heeded the call to support. The drive is ongoing, given the long-lasting impact of the pandemic for many.Details: Visit @WaterfallCityDevelopment or @WaterfallCorner on social media.
