Super Typhoon Haiyan, a Category 5 storm, devastated this archipelagic country. Fourteen million people were affected and infrastructure was destroyed. The resulting lack of access to clean water and poor sanitation created a breeding ground for cholera, whose severe vomiting and diarrhea can bring about life-threatening dehydration.

Dr. Dolhun and a small team of medical personnel arrived in Tacloban (the most densely populated city, which was 90% destroyed) 11 days after the storm surge. They treated hundreds of children for dehydration with DripDrop. The favorable taste helped kids keep down this life-saving solution, allowing it to work.
