Safe Water for Pakistan

This fundraiser is organized by LifeStraw SafeWater Fund.

Tax deductible

Since mid-June, heavy rains have triggered flash floods and wreaked havoc across much of Pakistan. Survivors have described harrowing escapes as rising water levels submerged entire villages, swept away homes, and destroyed hotels.

The ongoing floods threaten to submerge a third of the country. They have already damaged much of the nation’s crops, bringing on a food shortage. And doctors are reporting high rates of waterborne diseases.

Pakistan’s crisis by the numbers:

8 straight weeks of heavy rainfall
1,100 people killed, with the death toll rising
1 million homes and 2,200 miles of roads destroyed
Over 500,000 people in displacement camps; many others with nowhere to go
Over 33 million people impacted

LifeStraw is partnering with long-term partner and distributor, ARA International, to distribute an initial shipment of filters and purifiers.

Please donate to help us get safe water to additional families.

100% of donated funds go toward the cost of products and distribution of supplies. Vestergaard Frandsen, Inc. (d/b/a “LifeStraw”) does not profit from your donation.
