Rainwater Storage Tank

Rainwater Storage Tank

For a child living somewhere with seasonal rainfall or an unreliable water supply, turning on a tap is never something they can take for granted. During dry periods or emergencies, their family may struggle to find enough water for drinking, cooking, and washing.

A storage tank can help a community collect and safely store precious water while it is available, keeping it within reach when families, schools, and health facilities need it most. A more reliable supply can protect children’s health, ease the burden of water collection, and help everyday life continue when the rain does not come.

This gift is part of ChildFund New Zealand’s wider water and sanitation work. Your support could contribute to water-storage systems, infrastructure and community-led planning—helping children and families become more resilient during dry periods and emergencies.
