Aqua Box

Disasters come in many forms - earthquake
cyclone flood refugee displacement - but all
share a common factor. The most urgent single
problem facing the relief agencies is the
provision of a supply of safe drinking-water. In
some cases, it may be possible for the relief
agencies to supply water from outside the
affected area. In others, there is clearly a need
for those suffering in the aftermath of a
disaster to achieve an early, if temporary,
self-sufficiency in the supply of safe
drinking-water.  The answer is Aquabox. http//www
.aquabox.org/

Shelter Box To provide
humanitarian aid worldwide in the form of
shelter, warmth and comfort to people
displaced by natural and other disasters.

• A unique solution
• Our solution to disasters is the ShelterBox a
  tough, green plastic box containing a 10-person
  tent and ancillary equipment designed to enable a
  family of up to 10 people survive for at least
  six months.
• Made to a unique design using high quality
  materials, our tents are suitable for a wide
  range of conditions. Other items may include
  insulated groundsheets, thermal blankets, a
  multi-fuel stove, cooking equipment, tools,
  mosquito nets, water containers etc.
• ShelterBox works directly with local
  organisations in countries where disasters have
  occurred, in partnership with other aid agencies
  and through the international Rotary network.
• Our volunteer teams often oversee the
  distribution of boxes to individual recipients
  making sure aid gets direct to those people who
  need it most.

  sanitation and hygiene education to some of the
  world's poorest people.
