CHOLERA CRISIS IN ZIMBABWE -  ROTARY WATER-SURVIVAL BOX RESPONSE 

April  2009 - Zimbabwe

"Following a plea by RIBI Disaster Co-ordinator Iain Young a consignment of 100 Water-Survival Boxes were sent to Zimbabwe to provide families at risk of the cholera epidemic with a means of purifying water. 
 "Following a plea by RIBI Disaster Co-ordinator Iain Young a consignment of 100 Water-Survival Boxes were sent to Zimbabwe to provide families at risk of the cholera epidemic with a means of purifying water. This was a joint operation with Oxfam, whose representative in Harare, took responsibility for ensuring the boxes were distributed to families most at risk. The father photographed with his family's Water-Survival Box is sporting a Childsplay 2008 tee-shirt linking the Rotary Club of Taunton Vale with the Chelwood Bridge Club who manage the Water-Survival Box project."

 

 

Chairman of the Rotary project, Hugo Pike, said ‘We are pleased to help knowing that Oxfam will ensure the aid gets to those who need it. This is our first experience of working in partnership with Oxfam GB and we are impressed by the professional and efficient way they have helped us. We hope to develop this relationship in the future for the benefit of those caught up in natural and man-made disasters.’

 

Each Water-Survival Box costs £150 (including the cost of air freight). Donations are urgently needed and should be sent to Worldwaterworks Limited, c/o Rotary, The White House, Pensford, Bristol BS39 4NE
