Humanitarian: Aquabox supporting the Mynamar Earthquake. Club donation of £500
Carshalton Park work with partner charities across the world on international and humanitarian work.
Ongoing Humanitarian support with the help of Rotary Partner Charities such as Aquabox.
Whenever a disaster strikes, whether it is natural or man-made, there is always an urgent need to provide safe drinking water to those affected. Water supplies are often severely affected in the aftermath of disaster where water pipes may be destroyed or the supply contaminated with sewage.
Since Aquabox's formation in 1992 by John Griffiths OBE member of Wirksworth RC, the charity has sent in excess of 125,000 aid boxes to more than 50 countries around the world helping hundreds of thousands of people in times of crisis.
Aquabox and their team of volunteers quickly responds by sending its water filters and humanitarian aid. Each family filter can deliver up to half a million litres of clean drinking water with community filters being able to produce over one million litres during its working life.
They can also offer Aqua-Aid Survival Boxes tailored to support a family group. These contain water purification filters as well as items of humanitarian aid to help with shelter building, lighting, cooking and feeding.
