WorldWaterWorks.org, a local water survival box charity run by members of the Rotary Club of Chelwood Bridge, is responding to the Burma cyclone disaster and urgently needs to raise at least £50,000.

The need for purified drinking water is immediate and will be ongoing for several months.

A ‘Water Survival Box’ provides purified water for a family of four for four months as well other essential drinking and cooking items.

The supply challenge is enormous. WorldWaterWorks plan in advance of future disasters so that they are in a position to quickly respond. Previous fund raising initiatives mean that 300 boxes are available to immediately respond to this disaster.
