Emergency Supplies
Jerry Cans
After a disaster or health crisis, water is one of the most vital resources for survivors. At the same time, contaminated water can carry life-threatening parasites and disease. In these situations, reliable access to clean drinking water can make the difference between life and death.
Jerry cans are collapsible plastic jugs that help people obtain and transport clean water to their home or shelter. In displacement camps, MSF water and sanitation teams set up water points where families line up to fill their plastic jerry cans with up to 20 litres of drinkable water. Screw caps ensure that precious water can be kept sealed and transported easily. MSF needs a constant supply of jerry cans for distribution.
