  3. Disasters Other disasters – caused by Tsunami, Hurricane, Drought or Widespread Flooding

  4. Disasters Imagine being left with no home, no safe water to drink, and none of your belongings

  5. Water-Survival Box – what is it? • Its main purpose is to filter water to make it fit to drink and prevent people from dying of thirst or water-borne diseases

  6. Water-Survival Box – what’s in it? • Survival equipment: filter pack for clean water; items for eating and drinking; health and hygiene; shelter and tools; household items; but no food and no clothing (provided by others)

  7. £105 – includes box, lid, filtration pack, all contents, warehousing and transportation Less than the cost of most IPODs or MP3 Players Water-Survival Box – what’s it cost?

  8. Tsunami - 2004 England and Europe Red Sea India Sri Lanka Africa Indonesia Millions left homeless, without safe water, and lost all belongings

  9. Rotary Club of Chelwood Bridge District 1200 • The Water-Survival Box was developed after the tsunami in the Indian Ocean when we sent 3,200 waterboxes to India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia • But that operation took us 6 months! • We realised that in the case of most disasters aid needs to arrive as soon as possible after disaster strikes

  10. Rotary Club of Chelwood Bridge District 1200 • Indonesia is about 10,000 miles away from England • Sending Water-Survival Boxes by sea takes from 4 to 6 weeks from leaving England to arriving in Indonesia • They then have to be taken by plane or lorry to the disaster area - this can take another week or two • Is this the only solution? • and what use is it to survivors?

  11. Rotary Club of Chelwood Bridge District 1200 • We realised that help also needs to be available as soon as possible after disaster strikes • Pack the boxes in advance and replace that picture of a ship with the picture of a plane?

  12. Typhoons in the Philippines, December, 2006 England and Europe China Philippines Africa Indonesia Australia 18 villages were swept away by mudslides and widespread flooding - 80,000 people were left homeless, 1.5 million without safe water, and most lost all their belongings

  13. Rotary Club of Chelwood Bridge District 1200 • We already had 60 boxes packed • We sent them by air • It took them just 4 days to arrive in the Philippines • Obviously it cost more to send by air • We still had to arrange transport from Manila airport to the disaster zone

  17. Rotary Club of Chelwood Bridge District 1200 • Since the tsunami we estimate we have helped more than 17,000 people in terms of providing them with a safe drinking water supply for 4 months each • That’s equivalent to 10% of the population of B&NES or 170% of the capacity of the Recreation Ground! • We have also provided them with all the other essential survival items

  18. Rotary Club of Chelwood Bridge District 1200 It has been achieved by working with: • Wirksworth Rotary Club (Aquabox) • Rotary Clubs throughout District 1200 • Other Rotary Clubs • The community

  19. Rotary Club of Chelwood Bridge District 1200 Going forward we seek to: • To develop a strong brand to complement the ‘ShelterBox’ in the provision of immediate relief • To be as professional as ‘ShelterBox’ • To work with all Rotary Clubs in the raising of necessary funds • Support thousands more victims of disaster
