LIFE STRAWS( SAVE A LIFE FOR £3): May 2009
The Lifestraw is a personal water purification device turning any water into drinking water.It is an invention that could become one of the greatest life savers in historyIt is a plastic pipe filter just 25cm long and 29mm in diameter which can be hung around the neck and costs less than the
price of a cup of coffee
It lasts an adult a whole year and a child nearly two years before they need a replacement
More than one billion people,one sixth of the world's population,are without access to a safe water supply.
6000,mainly children,die each day from diseases caused by unsafe drinking water
At a recent Assembly at The Banovallum School in Horncastle ,Lincolnshire,Dr Cheryle Berry from
School Aid Network and Mr Paul Scott from The Rotary Organisation demonstrated its effectiveness by drinking
water from the local River !!!!
The young people now aim to Fundraise and buy as many Lifestraws as they can which will be distributed to many parts of
the world by Rotary International
