Ford & World Vision SA

Since its inception in June 2019, the World Vision South Africa water project, which is funded by Ford Motor Company and relies on the innovative Watergen atmospheric water-from-air generator, has been providing water to under-privileged and under-resourced communities in the drought-stricken areas of Nelson Mandela Bay in the Eastern Cape.
With the metro’s supply dams now at just 18 percent of total combined capacity, and the record drought now its sixth year, many communities have little to no access to clean water – a dire predicament that has only been exacerbated during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Accordingly, the World Vision SA project team project has been working closely with the local municipality, as well as the departments of Education, Social Development and Health to identify schools, clinics and communities in desperate need of water. More than 2 000 learners and educators benefitted from the distribution of water between August and October last year alone.
World Vision SA also works closely with community representatives to identify and assist informal settlements through the provision of water, and the team expanded its distribution to more drought-affected areas within the metro, including remote and rural areas surrounding Uitenhage and KwaNobuhle with little or no water supply.

Unicef & World Vision SA Wash project

For centuries, water, hygiene and sanitation have been linked to combating the spread of disease, but even today, there is still a critical need to educate people on the link between cleanliness and health.
In 2020, the COVID-19 global pandemic once again revealed the weak points in these vital services across South Africa, which was the rationale behind the launch of the World Vision SA and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) SA newest WASH campaign.
For these two organisations, WASH or Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, are universal rights, and this year, there was an even greater need to assist communities having to do without as the pandemic continued to spread.
Statistics South Africa last year revealed that 11% of South African households still do not have access to reliable sources of drinking water, and 17% without access to improved sanitation. An inability to keep up with general hygiene practices has been a major concern across the globe this year, with the World Health Organisation repeatedly saying that hand-washing hygiene is crucial in stopping the spread of the disease.

The transformation you can bring about

There are various options your organisation can choose from in order to transform the lives of children, their families and the communities they are part of. From choosing particular projects or countries to support, or individual children, you have the agency to decide how you change lives.

Sponsor children as a company

You can sponsor a child directly in the country of your choice – so your whole organisation can get to know the child through letters, photos and regular updates. Your staff can watch as you transform their life, bringing food, shelter and safety and unite as they achieve their dreams. You can also host a Chosen party at your company, where children can pick their sponsors directly – a truly moving experience for all involved.

Community sponsorship

Your company can directly partner with a particular project that speaks to your area of interest or inspires employees – whether that be by project area or country. There are various ways you can do this; by matching a grant, committing to a particular project over a 3-5 year period, match leverage to raise a certain target each year or twin with a particular community and experience the transformation change you make for the long term.
