A group of Hope College students researching global water issues in 25 countries are tracking what they think could be a worldwide solution to unsafe drinking water.
Hope College has partnered with Florida-based Sawyer Products and Give Clean Water, a California-based nonprofit, to help provide clean water to residents in Fiji.

It can be used with Sawyer bags (included with the filter) or with compatible water bottles (Smartwater is the bottle of choice for many hikers).
