A SAFE WATER SOLUTION
packH2O
packH2O is positively impacting lives around the world by providing a means to safe water transportation and storage.
The packH2O water backpack provides a solution for transporting and storing safe water; reducing the impact of waterborne pathogens that lead to illness. The product is lightweight, collapsable, ergonomic, and features a liner that can be sanitized in sunlight. It serves both residential and commercial needs, and is less-expensive to place in the field than the rigid containers currently used. Just one backpack can provide safe water for a classroom of children for an entire day or serve the water needs for a household of five.
Proper use of the packH2O water backpack reduces problems associated with waterborne diseases and, because of its ergonomic design, alleviates back and neck pain due to carrying containers on the heads and backs of women.
Every time we provide a pack to a classroom, we observe positive results, such as reduction of symptoms caused by waterborne illness.
Our team sees preventable diseases caused by waterborne pathogens on a daily basis. Safe water practices are lacking. Using the packH2O as a teaching tool to improve health, we are seeing significant results that are changing people’s lives. The packH2O Water Backpacks we introduced saved lives.
My vision and the vision of Greif was to utilize our company's strengths to positively impact lives post the Haiti earthquake of 2010. The packH2O water backpack was the result of our work. We are excited by the impact the packH2O water backpack is having in communities around the world.
