Standard Bank and Wildlands recently handed over one of 24 JoJo tanks to Zenzeleni Primary School near Verulam. Standard Bank donated just under R270 000 to purchase JoJo tanks which they wanted to distribute to underprivileged schools in the Wildlands’ network.
This really is an incredible story in that it was born from the very popular “Ice Bucket Challenge”. Standard Bank made a concerted effort NOT to partake in this craze, but to rather raise awareness about saving water within their company. Standard Bank purchased 24, 5000 Litre tanks and distributed them to schools all over the country with the help of community upliftment and environmental organisation – Wildlands. The school Principal thanked Standard Bank and Wildlands for their priceless contribution to the school.
“We really appreciate the support we receive from donors like Standard Bank, and we are equally grateful to Wildlands for facilitating this,” said Principal of Zenzeleni Primary, Lenny Jayalall.
