LifeStraw® Guinea Worm is a plastic pipe with a stainless steel mesh that filters out Guinea worm larvae from contaminated water. It has been a vital tool in global

efforts, led by The Carter Center, to eradicate Guinea worm disease.

• Vestergaard has supplied more than 23 million LifeStraw® Guinea

Worm filters to The Carter Center’s Guinea Worm Eradication

Programme, and the disease has experienced a dramatic

decrease.

• In 1986, an estimated 3.5 million people in 21 countries in Africa

and Asia had Guinea worm disease.

• In 2013, there were 148 cases in four African countries: South

Sudan, Chad, Mali and Ethiopia.

• As of December 2012, the WHO had certified 192 countries and

territories around the world as being free of the disease. It is

likely that Guinea worm disease will be the second human disease

in history (after smallpox) to be completely eradicated.

• The filter was the first LifeStraw® product and it provided

inspiration for the award-winning LifeStraw® point-of-use water

filters that followed.

About 780 million people in the world lack access to safe drinking water. Every 21 seconds, a child dies from diarrhea. One of the major barriers to large-scale safe water provision is the

lack of financing. The UN Human Development Report in 2011 noted that “the financing needed will have to be many times greater than current official development

assistance…closing the financing gap requires innovative thinking.”

LifeStraw® Carbon For Water program offers an innovative solution to the water crisis. It uses carbon financing to sustainably provide 4.5 million people in Kenya with the ability to treat

water in their homes for 10 years. It doesn’t cost the government or aid donors anything and it is designed to be replicated in other appropriate settings.

• Developed and launched by Vestergaard in April 2011

• 880,000 LifeStraw® Family water filters deployed in 91%

households without access to safe water in Kenya’s rural

Western Province

• The program earns carbon credits as LifeStraw® Family filters eliminate the need to boil

water for treatment. As a result, emissions that arise from the practice of burning wood

to boil water are reduced

• Monitoring by an accredited independent auditor takes place every 6-12 months. Carbon

credits are issued only after each verification

• It is a pay-for-performance business model whereby revenue is only obtained once

program indicators such as the number of people using the technology and the quantity

of water used for health-related purposes are certified by the international auditors

• Vestergaard has established 32 repair & replacement service centers throughout the area

LifeStraw® Carbon for Water
