KwaZulu-Natal flooding - how you can help
We have partnered with the Gift of the Givers Foundation so you can donate your Discovery Miles through Vitality MoveToGive to bring aid to people affected by flooding in KwaZulu-Natal.
The devastating floods have been declared a national disaster, and more than 500 people have lost their lives. Homes have been destroyed and infrastructure, including roads and bridges, have collapsed under the strain of the heavy downpours.
Thousands have been displaced and are in desperate need of food, shelter and other necessities.
Here's how you can make a difference to those affected:
Lend a hand by selecting any of the following rewards on the Discovery app:
Vitality members can donate Discovery Miles through Vitality MoveToGive
- For 300 Discovery Miles, you can contribute a food parcel to a person affected by the floods
- For 1,000 Discovery Miles, you can contribute a care package consisting of food and hygiene products to an affected family
- For 2,500 Discovery Miles, you can contribute towards building material for the reconstruction of damaged informal homes for people affected
In addition, the Discovery Fund will match your MoveToGive donations and continue to support local government authorities by funding helicopter rescue services and emergency provisions for the destitute.
