We are seeking more local, small business sponsors to participate in this very local, very tangible and simple initiative. This simple model is the springboard from which we can unlock all manner of projects and co-funding, to perform actions along river banks in the communities of the headwaters. Targeting areas like the remote Lotheni , uMkhomazi and Inzinga rivers (for example) , we can establish links , and then work towards sustainable solutions that find small business opportunities that benefit the environment and inhabitants alike.

This is not aimed at the huge corporates with large CSI budgets that are fiercely contested, and which demand the high overheads of glossy reporting for boards of directors.

This is a small, practical, and bang-for-buck initiative, for any local businesses that use any water at all, to get involved in their own catchment.

R50,000 spread over 3 years, gets your business into a significant and meaningful endeavor which you can showcase to your customers, suppliers and staff. This opens the door to other sponsors with more money, allowing you to leverage a small investment towards tangible water benefits for when El Nino hits us next year.
