LifeStraw
The original straw-filter that allows you to drink from rivers, streams, and waterfalls.
We’re on a mission to redefine the safe drinking water space through technology, innovation, product quality, and design. We work with governments, donors, and individual consumers, like yourself, to understand the need for safer water. At LifeStraw, we believe everyone deserves safe drinking water. Our intent to meet this basic human need is what drives us to build our products. Today, our customers help provide a lasting impact. For every product purchased, a school child receives safe water for an entire school year. Unlike many other companies, LifeStraw implements this program directly. With the support of our customers, LifeStraw is also active in responding to global disasters and safe water crises. LifeStraw’s 501c3 Safe Water Fund enables rapid disaster response in places that span from Puerto Rico to Indonesia. It also supports ongoing school and community programs in places like Kenya, India and Haiti. LifeStraw supports special initiatives for women and girls.
