We from Help IY are very happy to have acted as a successful middlemen. In January 2011, the Noluthando Day Care Center reported a broken geyser. The geyser was old and kept dripping and overflowing. Therefore, the creche’s staff had to cook all hot water on a gas stove – water to cook food, water to cook tea, water to clean dirty baby bums, water to clean the dishes. To find a solution to the problem, Help IY decided to search for donators and got in contact with the local company oneSolar.

Eventually, in May 2011, oneSolar had a customer who purchased a new geyser and got his current geyser replaced. The geyser the company took out was only a few months old and the customer – a guest house in Noordhoek – kindly donated the geyser for installation at Noluthando.
Since then, the Noluthando Day Care Center has a full five year warranty geyser for 150l of hot water.
