LifeStraw® Personal 'One of the Ten Things that will Change the Way We Live´ by Forbes

DateSaturday, December 27, 2008 at 8:11PM

LifeStraw® Personal is a portable water purifier for prevention of common diarrhea disease – can be carried around for easy access to safe and clean drinking water.

More than one billion people in the world do not have access to safe drinking water.

The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 km.

Half of the world's poor suffer from waterborne disease, and nearly 6,000 people - mainly children - die each day by consuming unsafe drinking water.

Please Donate a Life Straw. It is very simple and maybe the most direct great gift.
