Tonights speakers were Margaret and Ann from the Rotary Club of Eltham speaking about their Aquabox project.  The Aquabox began in the United Kingdom in 1990.  Since 1992 over 100,00 Aquaboxes have been distributed to disaster areas world wide.  It became a project of the RC of Eltham in 2001.  
  • 3.8 million people die every year from water born diseases
  • This includes 25,000 children every day
  • The Aquabox is a first response to emergencies.  The Aquabox Gold is able to provide purified/filtered water for a family of 4 for up to 6 months.  It also holds treated mosquito nets, blankets, tarpaulin, cooking equipment and other humanitarian items. Once emptied of these items, the 75 litre container with its filter cartridges and water treatment tablets, turns dirty water into drinking water.
  • Over 1280 Aquaboxes have been distributed in the past 5 years to disaster areas including Vanuatu and Nepal.
  • Some Aquaboxes are now pre positioned in Cambodia and Philippines.
