Safe Water for Humanitarian Emergencies

Donations to LifeStraw's Humanitarian Safe Water Fund enable our team to respond immediately emergencies -- to ensure access to safe drinking water and help prevent the spread of waterborne disease.

**For the rest of 2023, all of the contributions to this fund will support safe water access for communities being impacted by the recent natural disasters and humanitarian crises across the Middle East.**

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.

LifeStraw’s Safe Water Fund operates through a fiscal sponsorship with Players Philanthropy Fund, a Maryland charitable trust recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Federal Tax ID: 27-6601178). Contributions to LifeStraw’s Safe Water Fund are tax-deductible.
