Where We Show Up With DripDrop and Save Lives
When IV therapy isn't an option, dehydration can be life-threatening. At the edge of a wildfire, in a remote village, after a hurricane destroys local medical facilities—that's where we show up with DripDrop and save lives.
2014/ DripDrop is distributed in Uganda to combat high mortality rates associated with cholera outbreaks and subsequent dehydration due to diarrhea.

Uganda & Malawi
23.8 million people living in Uganda don’t have clean water, making Cholera outbreaks, and subsequent dehydration due to diarrhea, a common occurrence. Every year, over 4,500 Ugandan children under the age of 5 die from diarrhea.
Dr. Dolhun traveled to local hospitals and clinics in Uganda and Malawi, introducing them to DripDrop. His visit (and the staggering statistics) inspired him to initiate a long term commitment to educating African communities on how to treat life-threatening dehydration.
