Thanks to our supporters, Tenterden Rotary Club, who alongside other Rotary districts provided funding for 150 Aquabox family filters and Brad from Operation Orphan, for logistics, the filters have now arrived in Turkey.
On 6th February 2023 a series of powerful earthquakes hit Turkey and Syria, killing over 55,000 people in Turkey alone, and leaving over 1 million homeless. A year on, many thousands are still living in temporary shelters and surrounded by rubble, and the task of rebuilding homes and lives remains huge.
A key need for communities is clean water to sustain life and prevent disease.
Aquabox has been working closely with charity partner Operation Orphan in Turkey and Syria to ensure the donations reach the communities most in need.
