Puerto Rico
Program Description
Thousands of people lost everything in the wake of Hurricane Maria. Entire houses were demolished. Fresh water and food became scare commodities. One hundred thousand people have left the island for the mainland permanently due to untenable conditions and the number continues to grow.
Most of the island continues to be without power or running water.
Our team provides food, medicine, solar lights and water filters to people throughout the island, especially around the mountain of Utuado where the eye of the storm hit for 16 hours. We also provide emergency roof replacement and ad hoc shelter in areas other agencies have been unable to reach.
We are also training a local team to respond to the ongoing work of rebuilding Puerto Rico. This is only the beginning.
Want to help out right now? You can buy water filters and solar powered lights straight from our Amazon wishlist!
