Supplying water

Water distribution points located within reception camps provide drinking water to refugees.

The teams build emergency water distribution networks so that water can run as close as possible to those communities sheltering in temporary camps.
They supply numerous water distribution points.

All of the equipment comes as easy-to-assemble kits, and has been designed and built so that it can easily be sent to wherever it is needed irrespective of how difficult it may be to get there.
