LifeStraws for Sierra Leone

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.
