Worldwide, there are over 800 million people who don't have access to safe drinking water. Infrastructure projects provide long-term solutions but don't provide disaster relief, and often don't go into conflict zones. That's where Aquabox comes in. We pride ourselves on getting clean water filters to disaster zones as quickly as possible.

Since its formation in 1992, Aquabox 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 are a non-political charity and our focus is solely on providing clean water where there is none. We rely entirely on donations and the fundraising activities of our supporters to fund our work. Run by volunteers (apart from a part-time administrator), you can rest assured that most of your donation will go towards providing clean water to those most in need.

AVK and Aquabox have joined forces to make a difference. AVK UK is the leading provider of valves, fittings and associated support services to UK water companies. It is now leveraging the skills and expertise of its workforce to help Aquabox provide clean water to those impacted by natural disasters around the world.

Central to AVK UKs support for Aquabox is the sponsorship of five AVK UK employees AVK-Aquabox Ambassadors - to work alongside Aquabox volunteers. The AVK UK team are working on a variety of initiatives such as improving logistics, assembly processes, and marketing. AVK UK has also committed to providing direct financial support and fundraising throughout the year.
