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

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.

Ya, you are definitely right, I agree with you that half of the world's poor suffer from waterborne disease and 6,000 children die by consuming unsafe drinking water. So there is a need of installing ro water purifiers so that we can control uncertain disease and death. Safe water is the blood of any one's life.

Looks simple but the benefits for those who lack clean water is enormous. With LifeStraw dirty water can be drunk straight, but does not cause people who drink it become sick.
