They are life savers that provide clean drinking water for a family who would otherwise drink dirty, contaminated liquid. The box costs £50.00 to buy, this includes ALL transport to you, from you and to the destination. The box can be filled with emergency clothes, toys, dishes etc. It comes with all things necessary to purify 1100 litres of water which can last a family of four for a month. Will you or your organisation help? Please contact the web site for details.
