Our Mission
‘To provide, and assist, in delivering sustainable humanitarian aid relevant to people affected by natural and other disasters, including safe water and shelter’.
Smart Aid
We respond to disasters in our region such as eathquakes, typhoons and tsunamis with our ‘Smart Aid‘ program.
This involves us in consulting the affected communities to find out what they want; and then deliver using local sources as much as possible.
Typically we help people rebuild their homes, and provided them with safe drinking water.
We also support our Disaster Aid International partners responding to humanitarian disasters outside our region.
Safe Water For Every Child
We respond to the ongoing disaster of contaminated water with our ‘Safe Water for Every Child‘ program.
SkyHydrant water filters are used to protect; communities; schools and medical facilities.
The SkyHydrants provides clean, bacteria free drinking water at a cost of $1 per person per year.
