Abouts Us
Over the last twenty-five years, we have made strides in building a truly united, non-racial, non-sexist, democratic and prosperous society but we are the first to admit that
more still needs to be done. After the Sustainable Development Goals agenda was established by the United Nations (UN) in 2015, water and sanitation factored as part of the SDG goals especially
goal 6 (Clean water & sanitation). Based on the decisions taken by the UN on SDGs
various countries including South Africa are at various stages of driving this goal both at
technical and policy levels.
The global importance of water cannot be overstated; it is crucial for all life and important
for human socio-economic wellbeing; hence its value is seen from the context as an environmental, social, and economic good. The well-being of human society through the ages has been dependent on secure sources of water; conversely, its absence has seen the demise of often well-established societies.
