Support for Earthquake victims
Thu, Feb 23rd 2023 at 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
In response to the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, within ten days, Wallasey Rotary sent £2400 to the above charity - from existing Club funds and from individual donations. The first boxes arriving in Turkey on 22nd February.
Each box is designed to provide essential survival items for a family of five and, most importantly, the means of converting contaminated water into safe drinking water. The Grifaid Family Filter can deliver 200,000 litres of safe water – sufficient for each family member to have 20 litres each day for five years. The Charity’s initial deliveries to Turkey are already in use.
Each box can mean the difference between life and death through drinking contaminated water.
