About This Cause
Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about our organization. HydrateLife is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in San Francisco that works to end the water and sanitation crisis, specifically, in rural communities of Latin America. We work very closely with community members to come up with a solution that not only alleviates their problems, but is also simple to operate and maintain, leading to long lasting success. We also educate every community we work in on the importance of clean water, good sanitation practices, and proper hygiene. We believe that only when a person understands the problem can they be part of the solution. That’s why we have developed a curriculum that will be used on every project to help people understand the danger they are putting themselves and others in. Once they understand the problem, we can start working on a solution. People that live in the communities we serve have a hand in every part of the project. We will never tell a community what the solutions to their problems are. Community members know best what will work for them, and what won’t. That’s why we work side-by-side with people in the community, giving them several solutions, and then together we decide the best route to take. These solutions can take many forms, but one of the most important aspects of every project is that it is appropriate to the location and community being served, and because of this all of our projects are different in some way. However, as a driving principle, all of our projects use simple construction methods, locally available resources, and strive to have the least impact on the surrounding environment. We are excited to be embarking on our first project in Candelaria, Colombia. We would like to invite you to visit our website to learn more about Candelaria, our organization, and the approach we take on our projects. Thank you for your time.
