Vestergaard is an international company dedicated to improving the health of vulnerable people, most of whom live in developing countries. The main goal of the company is to contribute to a healthier, more sustainable planet by fighting malaria, diarrheal diseases and neglected tropical diseases. Additional company initiatives are focused on increasing HIV testing, mitigating climate change and enhancing food security. One of the most successful and breakthrough products of Vestergaard is the award-winning LifeStraw water filter, which was named "One of Ten Things that Will Change the Way we Live" by Forbesmagazine. The LifeStraw water filter is the perfect solution when you don’t have access to safe and clean drinking water. This easy to use straw can filter up to 1,000 liters of water, and remove a minimum of 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria and 99.9% of parasites. Furthermore, the filter doesn’t contain any chemicals, batteries or moving parts and it significantly reduces the turbidity of the water.
What makes the LifeStraw so effective is the hollow-fiber microfiltration membrane. The manufacturer of LifeStraw, Vestergaard Frandsen, has used thousands of hours in its research facilities to master the technology. Explained in a very simple way, the inside of the LifeStraw consists of a large number of strings looking very much like spaghetti. Each string is covered with very small holes with a diameter of 0.2 microns or five hundred times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. The extremely small holes filter the water to a very high standard when the water passes through the membrane, and stops bacteria, parasites and turbidity from passing through.
The personal version of LifeStraw has been deployed following almost every natural disaster since 2005, and the family version is the backbone of the LifeStraw Carbon for Water campaign in Kenya. This is the world’s largest privately funded household water program, providing more than 4.5 million Kenyans with sustainable access to clean and safe drinking water.
