Vitality MoveToGive and the National Sea Rescue Institute have teamed up to give children from underprivileged communities access to life-saving water safety skills.
Discovery Vitality members can now donate their Ðiscovery Miles to the National Sea Rescue Institute through Vitality MoveToGive in the Discovery app. With over 50 rescue bases, 1,500 volunteers and 52 lifeguarded beaches, the National Sea Rescue Institute is committed to preventing drowning and saving lives on South African waters. The registered non-profit company also teaches essential water safety skills to people, especially children, from underserved communities who are most vulnerable to drowning.
