Buckets are an essential part of our filtration system. For just $5, you can provide a family with the means to use their Sawyer filter effectively. Help us ensure that every filter has a bucket to go with it.
Our ambassadors like Emily and Shawnee are cycling across Asia, setting up filters and spreading awareness about the water crisis. Your donation supports their efforts and helps them provide more water filters and buckets.
