Innovative way of improving hygiene in Plastic View
The basins are made by a group of five men from the NGO’s projects in different communities.
While the struggle for water and sanitation is a reality for many informal settlements in the city, non-profit organisations and innovators have found ways to help improve hygiene in these areas.
SA Cares for Life is distributing practical washbasins made of a drum to families in Woodlane Village, also known as Plastic View, as well as Cemeteray View in the east of Pretoria, so they can wash their hands.
The basins are made by a group of five men from the NGO’s projects in different communities.
“We are aware that many children are vulnerable due to a lack of running water and no bathrooms, and thus have limited options for hand washing or access to healthy nutritious food,” said SA Cares for Life founder, Sanet Fegan.
“As a non-profit organisation we believe we can be an aid, and are able to assist the government of South Africa in times of crisis. Many of our partners and other entities felt the same way.
“We will always put the best interest of children at the forefront of all our projects and decisions.”
