Spar builds pit latrine for a needy family

Giving is a universal opportunity. Regardless of your age, profession, religion, income bracket, and background, the giver has capacity to create change. This is what Spar Tsetseng Retail Group did after restoring the dignity of the Motsamai family in Modipane yesterday.

The supermarket built the family a pit latrine toilet, through the Spar’s My Christmas Wish initiative. According to the Spar’s marketing manager, Ivo Sabrana, each year they host an SMS competition where people may submit their SMS wishes for a friend, family member or someone in the community who is in need.

“We then go through the wish list and identify people that we feel are mostly in need. Nominated recipients and entrants are then notified telephonically. We do not give them money directly, but we ensure that their wishes are fulfilled,” he said.
