In 2011, Vestergaard Frandsen launched a breakthrough initiative called LifeStraw Carbon for Water. The LifeStraw is a water purification system that uses no fuel. Each filter can produce at least 18,000 liters of quality drinking water over a 10-year life span. In Kenya's Western Province, they delivered nearly 880,000 family water filters to 91% of all households without access to safe municipal water. In doing so, they provided 4.5 million people with sustainable access to safe drinking water for the first time. To talk to us about LifeStraw Carbon for Water, we’re joined by Tara Lundy, Concept Development Manager at Vestergaard.
