LifeStraws for Sierra Leone

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

If you're new here, you may want to read about the project this blog is about. Thanks for visiting!

LifeStraw

At GMin we’re always looking for new and exciting ways to fight poverty and diseases. So today we received 5 LifeStraws that we’re going to bring to Sierra Leone for testing purpose.

A LifeStraw is - as you may have guessed - a straw, but what’s cool about it, is its ability to filter water thus preventing diseases such as diarrhoea, dysentery, typhoid, salmonella and cholera, among others.

We will bring malaria to a minimum in the village of Sahn Malen in Sierra Leone, Africa.

During our trip we’ll be updating this blog with stories, photos and maybe even a few videos.

So stay tuned…
