LifeStraw® is made by Vestergaard-Frandsen and is used to clean water that's filled with disease.  Lack of access to safe drinking water contributes to the staggering burden of diarrhoeal diseases worldwide, particularly affecting the young, the immunocompromised and  the poor. Nearly  one in five child deaths  –  about  1.5  million  each  year  –  is  due  to diarrhoea. Diarrhoea kills more young children than AIDS, malaria and measles combined . Drinking contaminated water  also  leads  to  reduced  personal productive time, with widespread economic effects.  LifeStraw® and STARBOARDERS are ready to MAKE A CHANGE!  See the videos below to see the LifeStraw® in action and you can also donate DIRECTLY to LifeStraw in any amount you'd like!
