Wish List
See what's on our wish list, and remember, all the goods you
donate are delivered directly into the hands of those who need
it most. |
How
you can help
No one involved in Hope and
Aid Direct takes a salary, or charges for their time and many of our
team do not claim back any expenses that they incur. Our volunteers give
up their spare time to raise the funds needed to hire, fill and take
trucks on the convoys and use up some of their precious annual leave to
travel to the Balkans to distribute the aid. |
|
Online donations
What makes it all
worthwhile? Just take a look in the picture galleries, at the faces of
some of the people who have been helped over the years.

it takes? If so, please click on

Rotary Box
Scheme
Our
efforts are helped by the Rotary Clubs Emergency Box Scheme
When a disaster strikes,
people need necessities
like food, clothes, and a dry place to sleep. They need essential
supplies, basic tools and some of the many things it takes to start the
rebuilding of their lives.
Rotary International offers
this immediate aid requirement by providing their Emergency Boxes. These
Emergency Boxes are available for both hot and cold climates with the
contents lists specifically tailored by the Red Cross, each box
providing vital aid for adults and
children. Held in
Rotary warehouses, boxes filled with essential provisions are stored
ready for instant dispatch whenever required and provide immediate
relief for the victims. |
