The box also contains a range of essential survival items including cooking pots, bowls/plates, mugs, and utensils; health and hygiene items; basic shelter and simple tools.
The first consignment of 60 Water Survival Boxes was sent to the Philippines following a devastating typhoon. Since then aid has been sent to many countries in SE Asia, Africa, S America and the Caribbean.
