WorldWaterWorks - Water Survival Box

The Water Survival Box is a rigid, reinforced 54 litre plastic container that becomes a receptacle for water when emptied of survival items, it includes a filtration pack including chlorine tablets – enough for family of 4 for some 4 months, plus essential survival items, as well as a basic shelter – via tarpaulin sheet.

 

It is a fully paid for product full of new items and does not need filling by external organisations. The new items will be tailored to suit the disaster locations. The cost of a survival box Box is £150. Purchases can be made online and we would appreciate your support. WorldWaterWorks is managed by the Rotary Club of Chelwood Bridge.
