The devastating earthquake in Nepal in which thousands have lost their lives and many more made homeless, promoted all the Rotary Clubs in Maidenhead to work together an raise funds for the immediate disaster relief provided by the ShelterBox and Aquabox charities.
Each ShelterBox contains a tent, water filters, a stove as well as bedding, kitchen utensils and tools and can support an extended family of up to 10 people. Each Aquabox Community Filter can give clean water to a community of 100 people for a year.
The clubs in Maidenhead quickly organised a very successful street collection and well over £5,000 was raised to purchase six ShelterBoxes and five community Aquaboxes. Thank you to everyone who stopped to put donations in our collection buckets, your support really is making a big difference.
