We live, work and create with impact in mind.
At LifeStraw, we believe everyone deserves equitable access to safe drinking water. We design beautiful, simple, and functional products that provide the highest protection from unsafe water based on where and how they will be used. We also take our responsibility to people and planet seriously. We strive to support underrepresented communities through our actions, our products, our marketing and our communications. We live, work and create with impact in mind. We fight for good and always err on the side of action.
OUR GIVE BACK PROGRAM
For every 500 products we sell, we distribute a LifeStraw Community purifier to a school in need which provides safe water to 100 school children for five years. Put another way, 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. Read more below about how we do so much more than just provide water purifiers.
HUMANITARIAN & EMERGENCY RESPONSE
The Safe Water Fund helps us reach even more communities that need clean water. Beyond our regular Give-Back program, the Safe Water Fund also provides clean water during emergencies and disasters. We work with local partners who know their communities best to find families and schools that need help most. When you donate to the Safe Water Fund, every dollar goes directly to getting safe water to people who need it.
GUINEA WORM ERADICATION
LifeStraw originated as a simple pipe filter to assist the Carter Center with the eradication of Guinea worm disease. Since 1994, LifeStraw has provided over 38 million Guinea worm filters to support eradication efforts.
Environmental Responsibility
At LifeStraw, we recognize the undeniable intersection between the impact that we as a company have on the climate, the disproportionate impact that climate change has on many of the communities that we support, and our responsibility to protect and advocate for a healthier planet. We strive to create products from sustainable materials that offer healthy alternatives to more wasteful options such as single-use plastics. We are a Climate Neutral Certified Brand, measuring and offsetting our annual greenhouse gas emissions
