Triple-P and DIAGEO reaffirmed their commitment to education and sustainability by continuing their partnership in the WASH project at the Sandakahle Primary School in Umlazi, Durban, making it two years of impactful collaboration since its launch in 2023.
This milestone was marked by a visit to the school by 12 DIAGEO employees and graduates who were taken on a walkabout through the school tour by the learners. Witnessing firsthand the improvements made through the WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) initiative, the Diageo team heard how this project has not only has improved the lives of the learners from a health and hygiene perspective, but has restored dignity and pride in themselves and their school.
As part of the visit, 207 Grade 7 leaners were equipped with essential stationery supplies, ensuring they can focus on this important year without the burden of inadequate tools.
About the WASH project
The WASH project is an initiative made possible through our partnership with DIAGEO that is focused on fostering educational growth by creating healthier learning environments that address critical water and sanitation needs in local communities. It is part of our Water for Tomorrow program and aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 6—clean water and sanitation.
Under this project the Sandakahle Primary School in Umlazi, Durban received key infrastructure upgrades including new water tanks, geysers, and improved sanitation facilities.
