“Clean water is not just a requirement for a healthy life, it's also a basic human right.”
— Amos Miguel (45yo) | Filter of Hope Trip
The Problem
There is a global water crisis that leaves 778 million people living without clean drinking water every day? Below are just a few facts to show put the Global Water Crisis into context:
1 in 9 people worldwide do not have access to clean, safe water.
In developing countries, up to 80% of illnesses are linked to poor water and sanitation conditions.
1 in 5 deaths of children under the age of 5 are due to water-related disease.
Water-related sicknesses prevent children from attending school.
Without clean drinking water, there is no way for families to break out of the cycle of poverty.
The Solution
Filter of Hope has developed a revolutionary, household water filter specifically for families living in abject poverty (less than $2/day) worldwide. Our filter removes all bacteria, protozoa and microorganisms from contaminated water sources, making the water completely safe to drink.
Our filter:
uses hollow fiber membranes—the same technology used in kidney dialysis and water treatment plants.
is gravity-fed so no electricity or batteries are required.
is EPA tested to ensure filtered water surpasses the U.S. Drinking Water Standard.
filters out 150 gallons of water per day and lasts up to 10 years!
only costs $40!
