From a simple straw
LifeStraw began as a simple mesh filter to help eradicate Guinea worm disease by removing the parasite from drinking water.
LifeStraw gives back
For every product purchased, a school child in need receives safe water for a year.
A better water filter is here
LifeStraw Home removes 30+ contaminants including bacteria, microplastics, and PFAS—all in a sleek, award-winning modern design.
How did we get our start?
It all began with a simple idea: a mesh filter designed as a straw to fight guinea worm disease. In 1994, LifeStraw partnered with The Carter Center to design a simple mesh filter to remove Guinea worm larvae from drinking water. Since then we have designed water filtration for outdoors and home.
What makes our products unique?
Every LifeStraw product removes bacteria, parasites, and microplastics.
Why do we love what we do?
We have humanitarian roots and believe that impact matters. To us, it's not just water filters, its ensuring equitable access to safe water for all
