LifeStraw Give Back Program 2019
For every LifeStraw product purchased, a child in need receives safe water for an entire school year. How does it work? One LifeStraw Community purifier provides approximately 100 students with safe water for an entire year. The LifeStraw Community lasts five years, and with every delivery of a purifier, we also commit staff and program resources for a period of five years. One purchase of any LifeStraw product provides a year of safe water to a child in need, five purchases provide that child with safe water for the next five years. Since its inception in 2014, the LifeStraw Give Back Program has provided over 3 million kids with a year of safe water. Our 2019 numbers from our Give Back Program: 1,19 Millions Kids with a year of safe water, 5,349 Follow-up visits conducted, 9.7 Millions Liters of safe water provided.
