Help support the P&G Children’s Safe Drinking
Water Program. Every bit helps.
$1.00 gives a child clean water for 50 days.
$7.50 gives a child clean water for a year.
$30.00 gives a family clean water for a year.
Children’s Safe Drinking Water is a charitable fund managed by the Greater Cincinnati Foundation.
A Simple Way to Clean Water
The Science Behind P&G Water Packet Technology
The P&G water purification packet is an amazing innovation that quickly turns 10 liters of dirty, potentially deadly water into clean and drinkable water.
Created to enable people anywhere in the world to purify dirty water in a simple, affordable and convenient way, the packet is based on technology similar to municipal water systems in developed countries. The water purification packet was developed by P&G in collaboration with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The water purification packet is a powdered mixture that removes pathogenic microorganisms and suspended matter, making previously contaminated water clean.
- Proven to eliminate disease causing microorganisms.
- Removes more than 99.99999% of common waterborne bacteria (including those that cause cholera), 99.99% of common waterborne viruses (including those that cause hepatitis A) and 99.9% of protozoa.
- Proven to reduce diarrheal disease incidence in the developing world by up to 90%.
- Removes dirt and other pollutants.
- Can be used to make clean drinking water for the entire family, including infants, and is considered an effective technology by the World Health Organization.
More than 5 billion liters of clean drinking water have been provided by global relief organizations using P&G packets including AmeriCares, CARE, IFRC, PSI, Save the Children and World Vision.
