PROBLEM: In rural East Africa, 63 million people lack access to safe drinking water. Contaminated water sources cause widespread waterborne diseases, such as diarrhea, which contributes to 10% of deaths among children under five. Families often walk 2–3 kilometers daily to collect water, impacting education, productivity, and overall well-being.
SOLUTION: SafeSip Straws offer an affordable, portable solution for rural communities, filtering up to 1,500 liters of water per straw—eliminating 99.99% of bacteria, parasites, and microplastics. With a cost of just $5 per straw, families can reduce waterborne disease risk by up to 70%, save on healthcare costs, and replace up to 1,500 single-use plastic bottles, promoting both health and sustainability.
