British
Berkefeld / Doulton Ceramic Cartridges for Emergency Relief
|
Following
the Asian Tidal Wave Disaster we've donated our entire stock
of Ceramic Sterasyl and Supersterasyl cartridges to help
the relief effort. We don't currently have any available
for non-humanitarian use. All other products are available
as normal.

Following the devastating Asia Tsunami
Earthquake disaster we're doing everything we can to help, focusing
on what we know best - providing safe clean drinking water.

filters for disaster relief.
Latest news:
The first batch of ceramic gravity filters have been donated via
a group of sri lankan buddhist monks who are sending aid by air
cargo directly to the worst affected areas of Sri Lanka where
the big international aid agencies haven't get reached. Our filters
will be in use within a couple of days providing clean safe drinking
water to over 500 people. We'll continue to liase with people
in the area who can make sure our filters are used effectively
for the benefit of as many people as possible.
This is aid at a grass roots level
- bypassing much of the overstretched infrastructure, possible
delays, waste and red tape. Once we get some feedback and know
which areas and organisations are calling for more equipment,
we can launch a full scale appeal for donations of both equipment
and money from the public and from within the water systems industry.
If you'd like to help please get in touch.
Let's make sure what we do is effective:
We're already hearing from some NGOs that certain aid is being
over supplied to some areas, especially clothing. However there
are still milllions in desperate need. That's why our help must
be targeted. The right equipment with the right information on
it's use, in the right place at the right time saves lives.

If you haven't already done so, please make a donation
to the offficial Aid Agencies through the DAC
website. Beware of spoof sites trying to get your card details
- it's bound to happen soon.
