YASEEN THEBA - DIRECTOR OF VISION GROUP

In January 2016 Yaseen Theba started #OperationHydrate in response to calls for water from Senekal. The call for assistance drove everyone.The goodwill from South Africans has been amazing. Everyone is rallying behind #OperationHydrate and millions of litres of water has been distributed already. Massive Social media drove it from day 1. A what’s app group was started by the volunteers and that’s how it grew. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram drove it. Fly Mango, ShopRite, and several other companies joined in to support the campaign. Hundred of boreholes have been handed over to communities through out the country. The aim is to get water to the areas that are most affected by the drought.
