💙 Building a Safer Future Through Water Safety Education 📚
As part of World Drowning Prevention Day, we were proud to partner with EcoActive to bring Blue Day to seven Cape Town primary schools, reaching nearly 900 learners through fun, interactive water safety education.
From drowning prevention workshops and creative poster competitions to inspiring real-life rescue stories, learners discovered that the knowledge they gain today could one day save a life.
For the past 12 years, EcoActive has been building a culture of water safety across Cape Town schools, reaching more than 20,000 children through education and free learn-to-swim programmes.
A sincere thank you to EcoActive for their ongoing commitment to drowning prevention, as well as Trellidor CPT Retail the participating schools, educators, volunteers and everyone who helped make Blue Day such a success.
Together, we are equipping the next generation with the knowledge, skills and confidence to stay safe around water.
Because drowning is preventable, and education remains one of our most powerful tools. 🛟💙
