Personal message

We are two old varsity friends, a medical doctor and a psychologist, on a motorcycle expedition through Africa. Raising funds for rural villages in South Africa to have reliable access to fresh water. Three months, 20 countries. Enough time to think about what really matters, and the type of leadership we need to transform how we relate to water, and each other.

We will cover 16000km.

For every 3.5km (R700) we can give reliable daily access to water to one person.
For every 14km (R2800), to one family.
And if we reach our goal of R3.2m, to 4800 people - an entire community. www.expedition-h2o.org

(Email us if you require an Article 18a donations certificate - [email protected]. Our beneficiary, the DT Foundation, whose Ezenzeleni Water Project we are raising funds for, is a registered public benefit organisation and is able to issue 18a certificates to donors. )
