We take clean water for granted every day. In the midst of devastation and disasters, there are few gifts more valuable than the gift of clean safe water.
Aquabox is essentially a lifesaving water tank with a water filter and water treatment tablets that can convert 1,100 litres of polluted water making it safe and pleasant to drink. The boxes are also filled with warm clothing, useful hardware and hygiene items to reduce the suffering during the aftermath of a disaster.
Estimates suggest 25,000 children die every day from the effects of drinking polluted water. With your help Aquabox can play a vital part in minimising the after effects of disaster.
This local initiative is powered by the voluntary members of the Rotary Club of Eltham, Victoria, Australia.
Sponsor an Aquabox
With Aquabox disaster victims not only receive emergency and essential supplies but the ability to purify enough water to sustain a family of four for approximately four months.
By sponsoring an Aquabox you:
- Provide relief and dignity to those who need it most
- Support a worthwhile charity
- By supporting an volunteer organisation your money is going where it is needed the most
