we created a new type of backpack, The Lifesaver Backpack that can keep them safe when the unexpected happens and at the same time teach children and there parents about water safety and what to do in case of an emergency.

The Lifesaver back packs were design and inspired by the same technology used in life vests, using light weight materials that resist strong river currents and colors that contrast agains the dark brown water of the rivers. They were also tested to resist the weight of children from ages 5 to 12 years old and their supplies, allowing the child to float and it’s also capable of turning them around if they fall unconscious, allowing him or her to breathe freely. The lifesaver back pack has also integrated into the design reflected materials, reinforce top handle for water rescues, a water proof whistle and CPR instructions.

the first stage of the implementation was activated in 4 remote jungle communities in the north of the country: Taparal, Munguido, San Jose and Los Perea. The activity included safety water classes, CPR training and emergency reaction that were given to children and adults. Then Lifesaver Backpacks were given out to Children between the age of 5 to 12 years old and tout how to properly use them. The activity in this 4 communities took place form from January 15 and ending January 30. More trips are been plan to reach the remaining 8 communities. As the promotion in Supermarkets and stores where Luki Product are sold is also Helping to create more Lifesaver Backpacks.

In partnership with the Colombian Red Cross hundreds of back packs have been donated to 4 different jungle communities: Taparal, Munguido, San Jose and Los Perea. Also a educational program that impacted more than 2,000 people including children and adults teaching them first aid, CPR and and what to do in case of water emergencies.

Each backpacks have CPR instructions stitch into the back to remind them what to do in case of an emergency . In other words, this is an activation idea that could helps save, not only the life of the recipient, but to all those around that could need help.

Luki is a brand that has always worried about children's health and wellness with a full line up of 100% natural frute snack that could be found in schools. The brand for its 2016 corporate responsibility plans decided they wanted to help children in remote jungle communities that use rivers to get to school. By creating an idea that could help prevent drowning. In partnership with the Colombian Red Cross we started identifying different jungle communities in the north of the country where more drowning have been reported from unexpected flash floods. We identified 12 communities with a population of about two thousand children that use this dangers rivers to get to school, we then device a plan with the Red Cross to reach this communities with the Lifesaver Backpack to help prevent child drowning and at the same time educate on how to act if they had to help in case of an emergency.

Colombia is a country with hundreds of rivers that are used everyday by children in remote jungle communities to get to school, using precarious and unsafe means of transport, but the problem is that rivers are unpredictable and flash floods happen without warning. In the last years more than a thousand children drowned trying to get to school. Our Client Luki, a famous fruit snack that is always present in children’s lunch boxes and schools, asked us for an idea to help these children.
