Pamela Anderson helps promote Waves 4 Water

On last week’s Thursday episode of the Ellen show, Pamela Anderson demonstrated the use of the Waves 4 Water filtration system. She did this by running dirty water through the system’s ceramic filters, which then produced the final product–a glass of purified water. To bring the point home, the actress/model took a drink of the once-dirty water, garnering a standing ovation by the audience. After the demonstration, Ellen decided to offer a helping hand by donating a $10,000.

This is not the first time Pamela has lended her support to the non-profit organization, she has done various press junkets and donated all of her earnings from various photoshoots.

Waves 4 Water is a non-profit organization founded by surfer, Jon Rose, and supported by Hurley International. The mission of the organization is to get clean water to the countries that most need it. Rose and his organization have already brought clean water to Indonesia, Haiti, and Chile.

The effort started off with surfers carrying the ceramic filters with them when they went to developing nations in search of waves. Aside from the filters, the only other parts necessary for the filtration system are paint buckets, a knife, and a spigot; due to the simplicity of the system, many others (outside of the surfing world) are also encouraged to buy the $20 filters when travelling abroad to impoverished countries.
