Description:
No more dirty water!
After Cyclone Nargis hit, clean water became extremely scarce in our community. A lot of children around me have fallen sick as a result of waterborne diseases. Your gift of PUR water purification sachets is very valuable as they protect us from contracting guinea worm, cholera, typhoid, trachoma and other painful and deadly diseases. Please save our lives!
*PUR is a water purification sachet that effectively reduces the presence of parasites and pesticides in water and acts as a mini-water treatment plant. One sachet of PUR can purify up to 10 litres of water.

In January 2009, RBKD held an online auction for Pickles – the RE’s Frog (donated by Rui En) to raise fund for the website. As the winning bid was higher than necessary to fund our web hosting package, RBKD decided to donate the surplus sum to charity.
Since Rui En had expressed concerns over the Nargis victims earlier on, they became the rightful choice for us to channel our help to.
