Since its launch in 1995, the Eco-Care Trust has developed into one of the most active non-governmental organizations regarding the conservation of South Africa’s natural water resources and ecosystems.

The NGO was started by a volunteer group of committed citizens and was the answer to a need for an environmental group aimed specifically at the huge task of conserving the countries water resources like wetlands, dams and rivers.

In 2001 they crossed the Rubicon, as the great need in this field of water urged them to change their focus and address the total aspect of water, sanitation, health, conservation, water demand; water awareness and education in communities and especially under the youth.

This proved to be a great success and in the last year alone they presented a total of 53 different projects and events whereby a total of 35 536 people were directly reached.

Eco-Care Trust succeeded in securing credibility through their programmes, and secured partners in government, environment and the water sector.
