Lifesaver - Clean Water for ALL!
[Canmore, AB 08-06-09] One of the most difficult challenges that children of the third world face is bad water. This bad water is full of viruses and diseases that often leads to diarrhea and death. According to UINCEF over 4000 children die daily from water-related diseases and over 1.8 million people (mainly children) die annually. That is difficult for many including myself to process and fathom.
I often go to TED.com to be inspired and encouraged by thinkers and innovators. Today as I watched the video below with an engineer Michael Pritchard from the UK I was stirred with hope. Please take 10 minutes to watch the video below regarding Lifesaver, an incredible water bottle or a jerry can with an water filter system, that can take the worst sewer-infested water and in seconds make it safe, sterile drink water!
It is clearly time to “think differently” and consider the possibilities of changing the world…
Wow. The bottle and jerry can are great products in and of themselves but the extended thinking to change water process at large is very, very interesting.
We need a shipment of those here in Nepal ASAP!!
I was surprised that this product has been available for 2 years. I believed that this should have had far higher profile… thinking about Myanmar and the incredible amount of need in the third world daily.
Yah, should start a Lifesaver Nepal Project…
