Nonprofit Organization Management

Aquabox is a charity and community project set up and managed by volunteers to provide safe drinking water, through the use of filtration units, and humanitarian aid to crisis zones around the world.Since its formation in 1992, Aquabox has distributed more than 110,000 boxes to countries suffering from natural and man-made disasters, helping hundreds of thousands of people in more than 50 countries. As well as a water filtration unit each Aquabox contains a variety of humanitarian aid items, including shelter materials, hygiene equipment, cooking utensils, baby and children's clothing.Natural disasters happen all too often and when they do, people are in desperate need of safe drinking water and humanitarian help.We rely entirely on donations and the fundraising activities of our supporters to fund our work and purchase additional items for the aid boxes. Without the generosity of our supporters, we would not be able to continue this work.We have more than 70 volunteers, drawn from the local community, who attend the Aquabox depot each week to assemble the water filters, or pack the boxes with humanitarian aid, ready for dispatch to countries suffering from the effects of disasters, whether natural or man-made.In recognition of the contribution made to helping those in need and the work put in by all the volunteers, Aquabox was very proud to receive the Queens Award for Voluntary Service in June 2016.
