As we informed you in February’s newsletter we are now working with an amazing sustainability project in Tuvalu. AutoPot are looking to solve a huge problem that exists in Tuvalu pronounced “too-VAH-loo” a small group of islands in the South Pacific region. The islands have no natural water and rely on rainfall to provide the 5,000 people who live on the islands with a water supply. Due to climate change in recent years there has been less rainfall leading to a water crisis. Last year the New Zealand and Australian governments were flying containers of water to the islands and declared Tuvalu in a state of emergency. Add to this the rising sea levels that have been flooding the agricultural land that prevents the Tuvaluans growing their own produce. Tuvalu is the one of the lowest lying areas of land in the world with a maximum height of less than 2 metres above sea level.
How can we help?
We are running a charitable campaign for Tuvalu that we would love you to donate to.
We are looking to raise around £30,000 to set up a 6,000+ pot system to grow a variety of crops. This is not a huge sum of money but something that could really make a difference to the people of Tuvalu. The money raised will be used to make a real difference to the people of Tuvalu and will provide fresh and sustainable produce all year round at a time when food security is extremely low. If you would like to donate to this much needed project please contact us at mail@staging.autopot.co.uk or call us on 084485851520.
