On the 2nd of August Bosch Home Appliances in collaboration with the WATER for PAWS organisation donated 1200 Litres of water to Animal Welfare Society of South Africa as part of Bosch’s national pledge to bring relief to animal shelters.
With drought taking its toll on the Cape Town areas the past couple of months, WATER for PAWS in collaboration with Bosch, started an initiative that will see to it that approximately 1 000 animals will receive water.
“The Silver Lining surrounding the all too infrequent clouds (until recently) is that such disasters galvanise us as a Nation and it has been so heart-warming to see South Africans from all walks of life pulling together in the true spirit of Ubuntu. To have a positive relationship with corporate SA especially trusted, iconic brands like Bosch will ensure that we prevail despite the seemingly insurmountable odds. We cannot win this battle alone,” said Allan Perrins Resource development and Communication Officer at the Animal Welfare Society.
Bosch Home Appliances, one of the Kitchen appliance companies grouped under the BSH Hausgeräte GmbH umbrella, launched a water pledge initiative earlier this year challenging the social media community to pledge towards water saving in South Africa. Bosch in turn, committed to sponsor one litre of water for every pledge they received to an animal shelter in Cape Town. Together with WATER for PAWS and Bosch, the Animal Welfare Society of South Africa was nominated to receive this generous contribution.
“At BSH, we are dedicated to sustainability and wherever possible we committed to contributing and improving the world we live in. We believe that every contribution makes a difference and we are very happy to be donating water to the Animal Welfare Society of South Africa,” said Elizabete Nelson, Corporate Communications Manager at BSH.
