St Margaret College’s Senglea Primary recently installed water tanks as part of a water harvesting project at the school. The project was financed by the HSBC Water Programme – Catch the Drop, a three-year initiative part-funded by the HSBC Group.
The campaign seeks to raise awareness about water conservation and stimulate positive change towards sustainable fresh water use in the Maltese islands. It aims to reach all 155 schools and all 67 local councils in Malta and Gozo, as well as the Maltese community at large.
At the water tank inauguration ceremony Parliamentary Secretary for Youth and Sport Chris Agius and HSBC Malta CEO Andrew Beane unveiled a commemorative plaque.
Earlier this year, the HSBC programme also sponsored the distribution of 120 fridge magnets featuring water conservation messages and 120 water-tap aerators to Senglea students and their families.
