Launching Project #WaterShare on East Coast Breakfast on Tuesday morning, presenter Darren Maule urged the province’s people to help make a difference in the lives of tens of thousands of residents who are bearing the brunt of one of KwaZulu-Natal's worst droughts.
“You guys have always heeded our call for help,” says Maule. “And now, more than ever, we need you to help us help the people of our wonderful province who are in dire straits.”
Residents and businesses are being urged to donate brand new, sealed bottles of water to East Coast Radio. Project #WaterShare will run until the evening of Sunday, 31 January. KwaZulu- Natal-based relief organisation, Gift of the Givers, has come on board to help the station distribute the water supplies to areas worst-affected by the protracted dry spell.
Speaking to Maule and the East Coast Breakfast team on-air this morning, the station’s general manager, Boni Mchunu, says; “People are desperate for our help. This is the time for us to come together, roll up our sleeves and help fellow residents of our beautiful province.”
