Water Survival Box aid is being sent to: Haiti

Water Survival Box make final preparations to send 360 WSB’s of aid to Haiti. On the 14th of August a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck the Tiburon Peninsula in the Caribbean nation of Haiti, approximately 150 kilometres west of the capital, Port-au-Prince. 136,800 buildings have been damaged or destroyed. 2,248 dead and 13,000 injured or missing.

Type of disaster: EARTHQUAKE

Our greatest challenge providing aid to Haiti has been finding a way to transport aid at an acceptable price. With airfreight prices for the transportation of 360 boxes, being prohibitively high, air transport was ruled out. Our boxes will now leave the UK in mid October by sea-freight and will take approximately 22 days to arrive in country. It will then through our in-country partners “World Vision” (who have managed to negotiate a duty free waiver for humanitarian aid) distribute our boxes to those in need.

July 2022 The Water Survival Box were distributed in Cavaillon between end of June and beginning of July FY22, at the main town of cavaillon, the venue was Eglise Saint Benoit, 292 Households (110 men and 182 women) with the potential to serve a total number of 1460 individuals. In summary 360 water survival boxes were distributed each family received a box containing plastic sheets, kitchen set, hygiene items, cooking set, water filter, water containers, etc. using beneficiaries’ word it was like gaining in the lottery because they received many kits in one. Local leaders and head of houses were happy, because many of their concerns were addressed, but also the households, because water filters offer the potential for reducing the risk of diarrhea, and also the box enabled them to cope with the loss of household items, and shelter.
