Aqua Box : 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.” : 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. www.shelterbox.org


Water Aid : WaterAid works in 17 countries providing water, sanitation and hygiene education to some of the world's poorest people. www.wateraid.org/uk/ Water Aid
