As part of the Expanded Public Works Programme, members of Working for Water clear alien invasive plants that threaten our water security from millions of hectares of land annually to be used at the eco-furniture factories.
The eco-furniture programme has set up seven factories in the Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, the Free State and Limpopo. School desks are the primary product produced. Part of our commitment to Mandela Day saw us donate 250 eco-furniture school desks to the Ladybrand and Manyatseng primary schools in the Free State.
Our contribution to active citizenship included a visit to the Manyatseng Old Age Home in Ladybrand where we donated fleece blankets, hand sanitiser and hygiene packs along with water tanks and recycling bins for waste.
