Water Institute launches platform for Day Zero volunteers
Pledge your support and make a difference.
Volunteers that can donate time or goods to assist officials tasked with managing the Cape water crisis can pledge their support at https://bit.ly/watervolunteer
The initiative is hosted by the Water Institute in Southern Africa (WISA), a registered non-profit organisation established in 1987.
WISA aims to support water sector professionals, namely the scientists, engineers, managers, and operators that are trained to design, operate, and maintain a very complex system that needs to collect, treat, and distribute water to sustain life and business for South African citizens.
“South Africans are known as uniquely resilient, and for coming together to assist one another in times of need,” said WISA CEO, Lester Goldman.
“We’ve created this volunteer platform to help streamline the strength in numbers, and connect those that can help with those that need help.”
The platform is a simple tool that allows volunteers to submit their contact and donation details.
WISA will collate the information and use its existing communication channels within the water sector to share relevant details with official task teams deployed by national and local government.
