At Setanta we feel very fortunate and blessed to have what we have in life. Many don't have the simplest of their daily needs provided to them. Over 1.2 billion people don't even have fresh safe drinking water available to them and many end up drinking contaminated water which sickens and kills many especially the very young and very old who cannot withstand the attacks on their bodies from disease.

Over 95% of children who die in developing countries from contracting diarrhea  do so from drinking contaminated water. While we want to provide fresh safe water to these people to save lives and improve their lot in life it is takes planning, research and fund development which cannot be accomplished over night.

What can be done very quickly is to provide interim solutions which can save lives now while a more comprehensive and longlasting solution is implemented.

Enter LIFESTRAW, a wonder of German engineering and the result of a challenge from the United Nations to develop life saving technology to address the needs of so many who are forgotten while the World goes about it's business.

The Personal Lifestraw provided to each member of a family filters out 99.98% of contaminants which contribute to water borne illnesses while the Family Lifestraw is even more effectve at 99.99% and is very effective at eliminating parasites as well from the water.

We are committed to helping those less fortunate and in a way where we get maximum benefit from our contribution. In a time where we all want to get the most value for our money it might seem crass to even suggest putting a monetary value on a life because we really can't. Ask any parent or loved one to put a value on the life of their loved one who has passed away and you will never get an amount because there isn't one.

But there is an amount that can help save a life, one that is within grasp of all of us to help almost as often as we wish. What would you say if we told you that through a donation to Lifestraw that you could help save a life of a child for as little as $5 per year, the cost of a personal Lifestraw.

From the sale of it's products Setanta contributes a percentage of it's profits to help in this very worthy cause. Your purchase of our earh friendly products not only contributes to the welfare and future of our physical world but will do double duty by contributing to saving a life.

You can contribute directly through Rotary International, a link to theirdonation link may be found at the Lifestraw website.
