Mansfield SI provides ‘AQUA BOXES’, to deprived countries, the club fills each ‘AQUA BOX’ with humanitarian aid. Mansfield SI endeavours to supply two of these boxes each year. This scheme is co-ordinated through the local Rotarian Society
An AQUABOX, a robust plastic tank with water purification tablets and packed with essential welfare items for a disaster situation. Once the welfare contents have been removed, each AQUABOX can be used to purify up to 1100 litres of polluted water, making it safe and pleasant to drink. As an example, 1100 litres is equal to 5,000 cups – that is enough for a family of four people (drinking 10 cups per day) for about four months
