WHAT IS LIFESTRAW
LifeStraw is a portable water purification tool that cleanses surface water and makes it safe for human consumption. It is just 25 cm long and 29 mm in diameter and can be hung around the neck. LifeStraw requires no electrical power or spare parts.
The life expectancy of a single straw can be up to one year from the start of usage (calculation based on consumption of 2 litre water per day) and so provides immediate aid and long term benefit.

George Clooney has visited the border of Northern and Southern Sudan many times over the past years to get behind the need for action to assist these refugees and ensure they are safe. Clooney said “If you knew a tsunami or Katrina or a Haiti earthquake was coming, what would you do to save people?” Whilst we were preparing for our holiday festivities, two Australian DARTs (Disaster Aid Response Teams) were delivering our aid in the form of our Family Survival Packs to allow the returning refugees some dignity and shelter from the harsh elements.Disaster Aid USA
