The Kincardine Rotary Club is joining Rotary International’s disaster relief effort in Haiti. Rotary International has organized a comprehensive disaster relief program involving the delivery of two basic survival kits to cover immediate needs. 

Through the delivery of two relief boxes, the ShelterBox and AquaBox, the initial needs of the people of Haiti can be covered for a few months, until more sustainable programs can be established. 

The ShelterBox contains items like a tent, blankets and floor mats, water purification tablets and a multi-fuel cook stove, cooking and eating utensils and basic building tools. For a cost of $1,000.00 this box is designed to provide shelter for a family of ten for up to six months.  

The Aquabox is a rigid plastic container of approximately 75 litres capacity and is packed with 30 Filter / Purification sets which will provide 33,000 litres of potable water. Its cost is approximately $500.00. 
 

Our Kincardine Rotary Club has already funded three Shelterboxes and is now calling on the residents of Kincardine who are looking for a way to help the people of Haiti to join the relief effort.
