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 preparing to send a large consignment of water filters to Southern Leyte, Philippines, one of the main affected areas, following Super Typhoon Rai, to help some of the 500,000 people in desperate need of clean drinking water.
This shipment will provide clean water to over 7,000 people but we are expecting that it will cost us nearly £15,000. Thats just over £2 per person. Not bad, is it?
But we can't do it without your help. Its not just the cost of the water filters, the cost of airfreighting at the moment has increased considerably. Its nearly double what we used to be charged to send a shipment like this by airfreight, but its urgent, so we need to do it.
Please help Aquabox support this disaster.
