    If Sawyer doesn't have a "buy one give one" program, they should. So many people need clean water around the world. Thanks for pulling this together to share with the world.

      I'm not sure, but they do donate 90% of their profits to clean water projects around the world 😉

      I can confirm that they provide tens of thousands of filters to different NGOs at Sawyers cost. Sawyer is VERY generous with filters. I have worked for 2 different NGOs that have received 100,000 each from Sawyer.

    I was lucky to see Na Wai at PCT Trail Days. Its great to be able to be able share this story showing the importance of clean drinking water to so many communities around the world. Something many of us take for granted.

    This is the third video I've seen this year of Sawyer doing these clean water projects in places around the world that don't have access to clean water. It is truly amazing and inspiring the work they do, how much it changes the lives of everyone in those communities. The first video I watched, I had questions similar to some that are in the comments below, but over the course of watching all these videos, it really is made clear how vital this is. Additionally, the education that is provided to the recipients includes the proper way to clean the filters, so some of the communities have been using the same filter for over 10 years now! It really shows that with proper care, they can last for a long time, unlike what you often see from hiking videos. Nic, I'm so glad you shared this documentary. I've known for some time about your filmmaking company, but to finally see a full-fledged production was fantastic. This film actually brought me to tears. Thank you. :) Paula

    Sawyer thanks for helping all the people and changing their lives with your filters and providing clean water! What you are doing with your profits and your company is amazing. Nic "Darwin" great job on the documentary! Jennifer Pharr Davis thanks for sharing your experience with your family to help us understand the challenge of clean water and what we take for granted in the US. I just made a donation to Sawyer because they have shown they are making a difference and they have been very generous using their own profits to help others. The Sawyer squeeze is a great filter and it is the only filter I trust especially with sketchy water sources if you don't do anything else you should buy a Squeeze knowing you have a quality product and you are supporting a company that uses its profits to help others. 👍

    Thanks for making this film. It is great to shed light on the real Fiji. We had the privilege of staying with local families in the interior when we visited. It is a different work than the fantasy of the resorts.

    I love this for so many reasons! Not just for Sawyer saving lives in Fiji, but for the opportunity the Pharr-Davis children have to see how children in another country live. Who maybe say they feel special because they have clean water to drink, not because mommy and daddy buy them things 😉

    wow, beautiful movie! amazing story, amazing people🥰 i just cannot understand why the local government doesn't supply clean water to its ciitizens/taxpayers and that foreign companies and NGOs have to come to do that. It's the responsiblilty of every government to provide infrastucture, health services and education etc. and if they don't even organize clean drinking water, then I'm afriad there is something horribly wrong with this government. Fiji isn't that big, less than a million inhabitants, shouldn't be too difficult to build adequate infrastructure. I've been there once, more than 30 years ago, and it appeared quite modern and not too poor even then. Anyway, great movie, thank you very much.🥰

      There are Indigenous populations in the US and Canada that don't have access to reliable, clean drinking water. The problem is not only in "poorer" island countries like Fiji.
      There are Sawyer filters being used by Canadian First Nations while they wait for the government to fix their water treatment plants.
      Sawyer is awesome 😊 there are not many companies anywhere on the planet who do as much as they do.

    Such a cool project, I'm sure those communities have benefitted a ton from the clean water. In those areas, how long do those filters work before they are clogged up? And once a filter stops working, what happens next for those communities, does Sawyer send them new filters or do they have to figure out how to get new ones themselves?

      if sufficiently maintained, these systems are lasting 10+ years. If they have any issues, they can work with the local organization to source parts or assistance.

    Living in the corporate world has opened my eyes. I wonder what the truth is. If I lived in these communities what would I see? How much of this is PR? By experience, I'd say 90+%. Maybe the body has acclimated to the rain water? Corporates can make anything what they want. Data, comms, whatever. Figures don't lie, but liars do figure.
