Why Protex is Bringing Water to SA Schools

At Protex, our mission has always been simple: to provide the best germ protection for you and your family. But as we look toward the future, we’ve realized that the best protection needs a vital partner - clean, reliable water.

Hygiene Needs a Partner

We know that handwashing is the first line of defense against illness. However, for many students across South Africa, practicing good hygiene at school isn't always easy. Thousands of schools face challenges with unreliable water access, which can disrupt learning and impact the well-being of our children.

As South Africa’s #1 trusted germ protection brand, we believe we have a responsibility to help.

Our Commitment

Through our campaign, Protex is investing in the infrastructure our schools need most. We aren't just providing a temporary fix; we are funding the installation of complete water security systems—including high-capacity JoJo tanks and necessary plumbing—to ensure that the taps keep flowing and our children stay protected.
