To me, adventure means freedom. Freedom to dive in and to completely let go, living in the moment and forgetting my to do list. Freedom to feel alive, like my true self, and like I’m ten again.

Today we kicked off our Follow the Liters program in Kenya. We are going to bring LifeStraw Community (high volume purifiers) to 330 schools over the next week.

Globally, 2.5 million kids miss school each day because of illnesses from unsafe water. In India, 95% of schools have drinking water facilities (1), but the water is not safe to drink.

As of 2016 (through various programs and partnerships):
Over 1,000 schools supported in western Kenya
Over 600,000 students receiving safe water this year alone
Over 7,000 filters distributed thus far.

LifeStraw has partnered with the New Ventures Fund to create a platform to consolidate contributions to support earthquake victims in Ecuador. All funds will go directly to providing LifeStraw® Community purifiers to populations hardest hit by the earthquake.

Through the follow the liters program, for each LifeStraw sold in Asia, one school child in India receives safe drinking water for an entire school year. This year, we are making an impact in Alwar, Rajasthan.

At LifeStraw we know that we must continue to innovate in order to address the emerging issues of water quality around the world.

Single-use plastic bottles have long posed an environmental threat. With recent reports on the effect bottled water has on human health, we have a responsibility to provide alternatives for safe hydration for consumers as well as communities in need and to minimize single-use plastic bottle pollution.

Follow the Liters receives a Halo Gold Award!
We are now committing to provide 1 million children with safe water. Help us reach 1 million by 2018!

On world water day, 22 March 2017, Mina Guli's #Run4Water expedition kicked off in Las Vegas. The objective: to run 1600 km along 6 rivers in 6 continents to bring attention to water issues.

LifeStraw is partnering with Guli,a global water advocate, as she embarks on her #Run4Water expedition – running the equivalent of 40 marathons - 1,048 miles - in 40 days along six rivers on six continents to raise awareness of the global water crisis.
