THE Derby Telegraph has teamed up with Aquabox to run the Give Water, Give Life campaign.

It aims to raise £138,000 to allow the Derbyshire charity to continue its life-saving work and has so far raised £100,000.

And Aquabox now needs Telegraph readers' support more than ever, as it ships out boxes to earthquake victims in Haiti.

Since 1992, Aquabox, a Rotary International project managed in Wirksworth, has sent more than 80,000 Aquaboxes to 55 countries.

If you want to donate, call Claire Duffin on Derby 253053 or e-mail cduffin@derby telegraph.co.uk.

You can send money to NatWest, account number 53575113, sort code 60-14-15, call 01629 825 178, or post a donation to Aquabox, PO Box 5398, Matlock, Derbyshire DE4 4ZP.

Cheques should be made payable to Aquabox.
