As many as 5,000 children a day die as a result of water borne diseases. Contaminated water is responsible for harbouring life threatening diseases such as cholera, typhoid, dysentery and bacteria. Disaster Aid International is proud to be partnering with the SkyJuice Foundation, an International not-for-profit organisation to provide a long term water solution in our suite of emergency relief products. Meets critical parameters as set out by the World Health Organisation – producing an average of 10,000 litres of filtered water per unit a day, we ensure survivors of disasters have access to clean water as they rebuild their lives.
Each team can raise for the project, or 50/50 for that and their own cause
