When disaster strikes the first image is of people fleeing
their homes , clutching on to their loved ones, with
only the clothes that they have on their backs.
Tarpaulins and mosquito nets provide shelter
A kerosene stove and cooking and eating utensils help
prepare food
Zeoline drops make drinking water safe
Garments address the need for clean clothing
Soap, toothpowder and detergent bars help maintain
hygiene and prevent illness.
