This is a bag that you can drop in a pool of raw sewage, and it gives you clean drinking water - free of bacteria and even *viruses*. Imagine what air dropping a few thousand of these over Sri Lanka would do to help people.
I think these would come cheaper direct from the source, but I haven't yet found the name of the company that makes them.

$10,000,000.00 could produce 9,000,000 liters of water in ten days using these bags.
