Target 2 (Optional)
Droughts, water scarcity, storms and flooding; all of which are prevalent in South Africa – severely affect child well-being. Environmental crises limit access to safe water and sanitation, nutritious food, education, health and protection services. To educate learners around these issues. Use physical examples. The lack of a variety of fish. We had more choices in the past but not these days. Snoek seems harder to come by these days.
