Aquabox is a volunteer-led charity and community project, based near Matlock, Derbyshire and operating worldwide, which provides safe drinking water (using filtration units) and humanitarian aid to crisis zones around the world.
Worldwide, there are 800 million people who dont have access to safe drinking water. Infrastructure projects provide long-term solutions but dont provide disaster relief, and often dont go into conflict zones. Thats where Aquabox comes in were first responders, aiming to get water filters to disaster zones as quickly as possible.
Since its formation in 1992, it has distributed more than 115,000 boxes of water filters and aid, to countries suffering from natural and man-made disasters, helping hundreds of thousands of people in more than 50 countries throughout the world.
We rely entirely on donations and the fundraising activities of our supporters to fund our work.
