South Africa is a water-scarce country, with many communities lacking reliable access to fresh water. When Outdoor Warehouse became aware of the need amongst rural communities in the Northern and Eastern Cape for a way of efficiently transporting water, they stepped up with a donation of 1 400 25-litre containers. The containers, with a combined value of R231 660 and combined volume of 35 000 litres, were distributed to communities by Water Warriors, an established non-profit organisation based in Cape Town. In addressing what was clearly a crucial need in these communities, Outdoor Warehouse has been able to not only facilitate access to water for drinking, but have enabled members of the community to practice effective hygiene protocols in order to limit the spread of COVID-19.
