Heavy and persistent flooding in the Kruger National Park (KNP) has left many staff members with limited food and personal supplies.

SPAR Lowveld Flood Relief

The core purpose of this initiative is to provide immediate and tangible relief to families across the Lowveld who have lost their homes and livelihoods due to the recent devastating floods. As a community rooted brand, SPAR Lowveld aims to leverage its supply chain and local presence to act as a bridge between those who want to help and those in desperate need, ensuring that essential resources like food reach the front lines of the crisis.

With the floods leading to severe infrastructure damage and a direct threat to the food security of local communities. It is our aim to ensure we provide aid, the best possible way we can.

SPAR has partnered with NPO’s like LIMA Rural Development Foundation, Children in Distress and GRIP (The Greater Rape Intervention Project) to reach out to communities that are impacted by the floods.
