"The Lifestraw Challenge!"
This is
a Global Event! Volunteer with
Community Without Walls (CWW)
and help change the world.
|
In many parts
of the world kids and their families do not have clean
water to drink. 5 million people die each year of
water-related diseases, 1.2 million are children.
Lifestraws
are water filtration devices that filter dirty water,
remove impurities, and make it drinkable. Drinking water
through a Lifestraw helps keep kids and their families
safe from water-related diseases.

There are two ways you can engage in the Lifestraw
Challenge:
BE INVOLVED --
Join us and bring your school or other group to help collect
and sort recyclable containers. We then turn them in for
cash and buy 1,000,000 Lifestraws, distribute them world-wide
and save one million lives! You can also present
your recycling program model or help us deliver our presentation
at one of our future events.
