Solution Overview & Benefits

Women in water-stressed regions walk on average 3.5 miles everyday to get water to their homes. Spinal injuries – even leading to death - are common among people carrying up to 40 lbs. on water on their heads every day. Most women use dirty buckets or jerry cans that previously held pesticides, fuel or other chemicals.

PackH2O is an alternative to buckets and jerry cans to carry water home and help keep it clean. The water backpack can help keep water clean as it’s carried and stored because it can be hung up even when full. PackH2O starts out clean and has a removable liner that, after use, is easily sanitized with exposure to sunlight. The PackH2O relieves the physical stress of carrying water by distributing the burden evenly on the wearer’s back. The PackH2O is easy to carry, shifting and distributing the weight to the wearer’s back – a healthier solution.

The PackH2O is 7 times lighter and 7 times smaller than a jerry can that holds the same amount of water. That means the PackH2O is less expensive to ship and requires less room to store than rigid containers – a key consideration in emergency relief and shipping to remote water-stressed regions.
