  • 884 million people in the world lack access to a safe water supply
  • Approximately 840,00 people die every year due to water-related diseases
  • Every minute in LDCs, a child dies of a water-realated illness
  • More than 80% of sewage in developing countries is discharged untreated, polluting rivers, lakes and coastal areas

Carbon (charcoal) Filtering

  • Caborn Filtering is a method of fitering water by using activated carbon, a.k.a. charcoal, to remove contaminents and impurities via chemical absorption
  • Active charcoal carbon filters are most effective at removing chlorine, sediment, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), taste and odor from water

History of Filtered Drinking Water

  • The earliest attempt at filtrating water to make clean drinking water dates back to 2000 b.c.e.
  • The first experimentation of purifying drinking water came from Sir Francis Bacon in 1627.
  • Sir Francis Bacon tested this process using seawater and sand.

How It Will Help

Supplying these LDC's with clean water will make a positive effect on families in all of these countries. We believe that adding water filters will decrease the number of individuals that die along with prevent the spread of water-related diseases. Also, it is cost effective due to the face that it will be a Carbon filter within a "clip on" piece on the nosel. As our product improves, more and more people around the world will begin to put the filter to use.
