Accessing Clean Water one LifeStraw at a Time
Because we partnered with three schools in Taita, Kenya we learned how important water is and how we can help to give people in third world countries better access to clean water. I learned that my partners’ water was compromised and they often were ill and missed school because of the unclean water. I wanted to do something to help these students.
During my project research I came across the LifeStraw and learned that it can clean 99% of all water even from a very unclean water source and it is easy to use. My “Call to Action” is to have LifeStraws sent to each of the students in Taita, Kenya so they could have an easy and safe way of filtering their water.
LifeStraw has promised to sell their device to me at a discounted price of $7.00. I would like to earn enough money to send straws to all of my 310 partners.
I would really appreciate it if you could donate to my cause and forward this email to others who you think might also help me.
Sincerely,
Diana Greenaway
