With the help of Sawyer filters, Liberia will be the first developing country with clean water, border to border, in every household by December of 2020. Sawyer filters will bring clean water to the last 20% of rural Liberia that everyone said was impossible to reach. The Last Well joined forces with other NGOs and Sawyer Products to accomplish this goal set in 2008, mapping out the country in it's entirety so access to clean water can be strategically implemented and tracked.

The Sawyer line of innovative water filtration systems grows today with the launch of the Sawyer Select™ Filters and Purifiers.  The new line combines Sawyer's signature 0.1 micron absolute Hollow Fiber Membrane filter with a proprietary Foam membrane developed in partnership with the company Foamulations™ to remove virtually all contaminants found in wilderness water.

Sawyer Products is working with multiple organizations to distribute approximately 20,000 bucket filtration systems and over 30,000 insect repellents to help with the Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. These bucket adapter systems are used in over 80 countries around the world and can filter up to 500 gallons per day. The insect repellents that were sent include our family friendly 20% Picaridin spray which is effective on mosquitoes, ticks, and flies as well as our Permethrin Insect Repellent Treatment for Clothing, Gear, and Fabric which is odorless after drying and lasts for 6 weeks or 6 washes. In addition to our standard 0.1 micron absolute bucket filtration systems, we are also sending some of our brand new Sawyer Select Foam Filtration Systems which launch later this month and will remove chemicals and pesticides where water contamination levels are especially high.
