Activity Description:

The Vestergaard-Frandsen group designs disease control textiles and distributes them profitably on a mass scale. One of their products, the LifeStraw, is a drinking straw with seven types of filters. It purifies up to 185 gallons of water, offering protection from waterborne diseases of major public concerns such as typhoid, cholera, dysentery and diarrhea. As a personal mobile water purification tool, LifeStraw is designed to turn surface water into drinking water.
