Mission Timeline:
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.
2016/ A team of relief workers led by Dr. Dolhun provided critical medical aid and DripDrop to adults and children in the Syrian refugee community in the Mediterranean.
Greece
2016
Greece
The Syrian Refugee Crisis in the Mediterranean displaced over 2.7 million people. Refugees began living in camps along the Greek coastline. The lack of food and water on their long journeys, combined with the Mediterranean sun, quickly led to widespread dehydration and associated complications.
Dr. Dolhun and a team of relief workers traveled to four camps in Greece. They provided critical medical aid and oral rehydration therapy with DripDrop to adults and children in the refugee community suffering from dehydration due to infectious diarrhea, heat, and lack of food and water.
Ecuador
2016
Ecuador was hit by a magnitude 7.8 earthquake. Over 700,000 people needed assistance after water, sanitation, and healthcare facilities were destroyed by the colossal impact, making dehydration a perilous issue for the community.
Dr. Dolhun traveled to Manta, Ecuador—the headquarters for the national response effort. His team met with the head of pediatrics at the local general hospital and administered DripDrop to children suffering from dehydration in the improvised pediatric wards.
