Maps Maponyane gives helping hand in Langrug community

Maps Maponyane joined brand TUMI, global humanitarian aid organisation Waves for Water and NGO FLOW for a helping hand initiative. This was for an urgently needed water activation for the settlement at Langrug in the Western Cape.

Langrug had been affected by health problems as a result of inadequate clean water supply. A third of the inhabitants also have no access to electricity or sanitation.

Maps spoke about the initiative saying: “It is incredible to be part of a project like this with a brand like TUMI. Which is going all out to give back to the region in which it has a shop. This is by ensuring that people have access to one of the earth’s most important resources. Water is one of the most vital elements of life and it is wonderful to help them provide portable bucket based systems.This will enable these people to clear out the impurities from the dirty water. This will enable them to be healthier and improve their quality of life. It will also save them money as they will not have to buy as much bottled water to drink.”

Water for Waves has constructed three rain catchment systems that will change the way water is accessed in the area.

This is a bid to ensure it helps generations to come.
