One cannot underestimate the importance of sterilized drinking water, a point that the Carter Center realized back in 1994. LifeStraw came into collaboration with parent company Vestergaard to bring purified water to developing countries to address this critical problem, ranking them among the most valued social impact companies.

LifeStraw has brought clean, drinkable water to over 630,000 students in Kenya and India alone. 1,000 schools have been given their free patented water filters so kids can have access to pure water in their communities. LifeStraw, along with other social impact companies, is making a positive contribution to communities.

LifeStraw donates a year of fresh, sterile water for schools in impoverished communities overseas for every purchase of these incredible filters. You too can experience this life-changing technology while also giving back to LifeStraw’s central purpose.

The LifeStraw Personal Water Filter for Hiking, Camping, Travel, and Emergency Preparedness is a portable water filter for the activities aforementioned. It is essential for any emergency kit as well as any camping trip.

LifeStraw removes 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria. It produces completely safe, drinkable water out from any body of fresh water. It is EPA approved for use, filtering out 2oz of water per use. All of LifeStraw’s products are durable and can filter up to 1000 liters of contaminated water before needing replacement.

The LifeStraw Go Water Filter Bottle with 2-Stage Integrated Filter Straw for Hiking is made to hold a larger body of liquid for much longer than the Original LifeStraw. This BPA and Phthalate-Free plastic bottle is 23oz of filtering power. Water can be filtered and then brought with you on long hiking trails or on camping trips for later use.

The leak-proof design makes it simple to easily pump water and purify it without waiting for any chemicals to react. It is the fastest and safest way to sterilize your drinking water on the go.

An even greater water capacity is available in the LifeStraw Family 1.0 Water Purifier. This gravity-based system is straightforward and easy to use; you pour contaminated water on top, and it comes out clean out of the pump. This model is made for everyday, long-term use with a guarantee of providing safe water for a four member family for at least 3 years.

Its flow rate is 9-12 liter per hour, making it an option for cleaner daily living. It is portable and ideal for boil water advisories, extended camping or base camps. If you are choosing to live more naturally, this is an excellent option to keep your family safe and well hydrated.

For every LifeStraw Family Water 1.0 Water Purifier purchased, another purifier of the same kind is donated to a family in need. While you are dedicated to your brood’s health and wellness, you can provide that same peace of mind for another.

If your interest in LifeStraw is for large quantities in a portable, light-weight container then look no further than the LifeStraw Mission Water Purification System, High-Volume Gravity-Fed Purifier for Camping and Emergency Preparedness.

This integrated system provides a considerable quantity of water on the go. It is optimal for charitable missions, relief work, emergency prep and large camping groups. It provides a sizeable 3.1 gallons of fresh, sterile water from the same gravity-fed technology that is employed in the LifeStraw Family 1.0 Water Purifier.

It is very easily cleaned and managed, a low-maintenance system that produces efficient, safe results very fast. It will purify over 18,000 gallons of water in its lifetime before needing replacement. The BPA and Phalate-free plastic is lightweight and durable so it can easily be carried. It is leak-proof and comes with a waterproof roll-top bag that protects and preserves the system from wear.

LifeStraw and Vestergaard have produced real change in the world with their purifiers that have benefited thousands already. Count yourself among them and support this wonderful organization – and other social impact companies – that give back to ensure access to clean water.
