Introduction
Islamic Relief South Africa (IRSA) is an international humanitarian and development company. Is was registered as a Section 21 non-profit company in 2004.
Water, hygiene and sanitation are critical elements of human survival. Fresh water in good quality and sufficient amount is essential for all aspects of human life and sustainable development. The fundamental human rights to water are recognized by states and it is the mandate of governments to provide safe drinking water to its citizens. Water plays a pivotal role in all aspects of development including food security, health and poverty reduction in sustaining growth in agriculture and maintaining health ecosystems.
Unfortunately, the right to water is neither universally nor equitably enjoyed. Different communities and schools have a disproportionate access to basic services. Learners in public schools and residents in rural communities still face unacceptable challenges to accessing water and sanitation services.
Background to Borehole Intervention
IRSA has been at the forefront in providing safe and clean drinking water in water-distressed communities around the world. In 2018, IRSA in partnership with its donors and the Muslim Community embarked on installing boreholes in water distressed communities as a contribution to solving the water scarcity problem encountered by communities and schools.
IRSA installed 18 boreholes all over the KwaZulu-Natal region. Throughout the past few years, the boreholes have deteriorated due to vandalism and theft that has taken place.
