We need funds to enable us to respond rapidly to disasters around the world. Since 2006, over 23,800 of our boxes have been sent to families in most need in 43 countries. Each box is designed to support a family of 5 so help has already been delivered to over 100,000 people.

Situation
We look to respond to worldwide emergency need for safe drinking water where local supplies are disrupted because of natural and man-made disasters. Preparation in advance of boxes ready for dispatch is key to our rapid response.
Solution
Fundamental to our aid response is the provision of water purification equipment in the form of the Grifaid Aqua filter which can make safe to drink up to 200,000 litres of unclean local water. This is supplemented by the provision of: shelter and survival tools; feeding and drinking essentials; hygiene items; and general household items such as cooksets, bandages, cotton material, sewing kit etc. enabling victims to restart their lives with essential items all in one box!
