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.
2018/ After one of the deadliest and most destructive wildfire seasons in California history, DripDrop establishes Firefighters as our 3rd official mission impact area.

The cholera outbreak in Harare was declared a State of Emergency by the Ministry of Health and Child Care (MoHCC) of Zimbabwe. Poor waste disposal systems and broken sewers were blamed for the disease outbreak which induced widespread dehydration.
Cholera is an acute diarrheal illness that causes life-threatening dehydration and kills thousands of people worldwide each year. Partnering with Africare and the local medical community, Dr. Dolhun administered 2,400 DripDrop sticks to patients suffering from Cholera-induced dehydration.

2018
California, USA
The 2018 wildfire season was the deadliest and most destructive wildfire season on record in California. Firefighters exert an extraordinary amount of energy when responding to wildfires, and dehydration is a very serious threat to their health and safety.
We packed our cars full of DripDrop and set out to provide dehydration relief to firefighters selflessly combating the flames in our home state - the grassroots beginnings of a strategic initiative for our company. We met with crews and hand-delivered sticks to those fighting the Carr Fire, Holy Fire, Mendocino Complex Fire, and many others.
