TABLE MOUNTAIN WATER SOURCE PARTNERSHIP – Annexure2

The Greenpop Foundation conducted a groundwater awareness campaign targeting Grade 4-7 learners in Cape Town to address gaps in the CAPS curriculum. The project utilized multimedia lessons, a poster competition, and field trips to educate students and teachers. Despite COVID-19 challenges, the project reached 2,568 learners across 13 schools, exceeding its reach target. Findings indicate that while initial groundwater awareness was very low, the intervention successfully increased knowledge, with teachers reporting high relevance and a desire for the campaign to become an annual event.

• The project successfully exceeded its target reach for learners, engaging 2,568 students across 13 participating schools, although it fell short of the target of 20 schools due to COVID-19 pressures.
• The campaign addressed a specific deficiency in the national CAPS curriculum, which the report states lacks sufficient information on the responsible use and management of groundwater for primary school learners.
• Initial levels of groundwater awareness among students and teachers were found to be very low, though the report notes this knowledge is easily transformed through targeted interventions.
• The inter-school poster competition resulted in 110 submissions, with 50% (55 posters) scoring 50% or above based on criteria including research, creativity, and awareness of the topic.
• The project extended its reach to the broader community by converting the winning poster into two video billboard designs, which were displayed at 33 locations in the Western Cape, totaling 481,702 plays across February and March 2022.
• Teacher feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with respondents rating the content relevance at 4.7 out of 5 and indicating they would continue using the educational materials in future years.
