#WaterShare: An overwhelming response from KZN
East Coast Radio’s #WaterShare
project has collected over one million litres of water for parts of the
province hardest hit by the ongoing drought. Thank you KZN.
It has been months
since a drop of rain fell in Northern KwaZulu-Natal but residents were showered
with love this morning when East Coast Radio’s Project #WaterShare arrived to
rehydrate Vryheid.

People, schools and businesses across the province generously heeded the call for help when Project #WaterShare was launched on East Coast Breakfast with Darren Maule on Tuesday (26 January 2016). As a result, more than 360 000 litres of bottled and tanked water were trucked in to the town this morning during a special live broadcast of the show.
Contributions
came from all corners of the province and will be used to bring relief
to areas that have been brought to their knees by the crippling drought.
NGO, Gift of the Givers, has come on board to assist the station with
on-the-ground logistics and will be coordinating the province-wide water
drop-offs.
