Water Survival Box aiding victims of war and flooding

Rotary charity, Water Survival Box, provides urgent aid to victims of war and flooding by providing hygiene essentials and life-saving water filters.

Water Survival Box is the initiative of the Rotary Club of Chelwood Bridge, England.

The project’s main purpose is to provide a way to purify water for those that have been struck by a natural or man-made disaster.

However, with their partnerships with other charities and clubs, they also provide other necessary aid such as urgently needed items.

Water Survival Box recently responded to the urgent aid needed by delivering a variety of items over the weeks.

With hygiene products being hard to get hold of Water Survival Box together with landlord Parker Transport organised delivery to Poland.

Water Survival Box Switzerland also helped and granted funds for 150 multipack Grifaid filters to contacts in Slovakia for them to be passed on to Rotary in Lviv days later.

However, the water filters supplied were still not enough, so further filters were sourced from Aquabox, which is also a Rotary charity.

Aside from all this activity supporting Ukraine we have sent 400 full Water Survival Boxes to South Africa following extensive flooding in Kwa Zulu Natal with the loss of 40,000 homes.
