22 MARCH IS

WORLD WATER DAY

AND 16 – 20 MARCH IS NATIONAL WATER WEEK

 

Broadly across South Africa, several regions continue to struggle with severe water shortages and drought. In the face of these challenges, it's important to recognise that water, the planet's most valuable resource, demands our greatest attention and conservation efforts.

In 2018, we established the Woolies Water Fund, in partnership with MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet, with an aim to transform communities and schools by improving access to safe water and sanitisation, ensuring the conservation of this valuable resource and enhancing healthier and more sustainable livelihoods.

 

WATER STEWARDSHIP WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIES
OUR IMPACT, OUR COMMITMENT

 

Woolworths is driving sustainable change by addressing water scarcity in rural schools through collaboration and investment. We are focused on expanding water access in regions that remain in dire need due to extreme drought conditions. Through strategic partnerships, we are rolling out rainwater tanks, filtration systems, handwashing stations and water meters to track savings and maximise impact.
