LifeStraw Water Filter

LifeStraw is a globally recognized brand specializing in portable and large-capacity water filtration devices designed to make contaminated water safe to drink. Originally developed by the Swiss-based company Vestergaard Frandsen, the technology was first conceptualized as a way to filter out Guinea worm larvae. It has since evolved into a versatile range of products used for emergency humanitarian aid, outdoor recreation, and household water security.

Today, the brand is owned by Vestergaard, an international social enterprise that operates with a dual focus on health-related innovation and humanitarian impact. While the brand is headquartered in Switzerland, the primary manufacturing and assembly of the precision filters are carried out in South Korea. The brand is famous for its 'Buy One, Give One' program, which provides safe water to schoolchildren in developing regions for every consumer product sold.
