A personal water treatment backpack that enables people worldwide to purify dirty water easily
3.4 million people die each year from water related disease. This is almost the entire city of Los Angeles. We’re empowering communities around the world to create clean drinking water using the DayOne Waterbag.
A personal water treatment backpack that enables people worldwide to purify dirty water easily in a complete all-in-one device for water collection, transport, treatment, and protected storage. The DayOne Waterbag is a 10-liter water backpack designed for use exclusively with the Procter & Gamble water treatment packets that are distributed worldwide. It is compactly designed for immediate distribution after a disaster to treat contaminated freshwater sources, protecting survivors from the leading causes of diarrheal disease.
DayOne Response™ supports the Procter & Gamble Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program’s goal to deliver more than 2 billion liters of clean drinking water each year by 2020.
