Hurricanes Maria + Irma

One-Year Anniversary Matching Campaign

Hurricanes Maria and Irma—two of the most powerful hurricanes in history—slammed into the Caribbean in September 2017, taking thousands of lives, homes, and businesses in Puerto Rico, Dominica, the Virgin Islands, and beyond. The GlobalGiving community responded swiftly, bringing immediate relief to devastated communities. One year later, they still need your help.

Water for Us
In the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico faced the lack of drinkable water access. PRCF identified that there were approximately 247 community aqueducts that needed support to supply water to their communities. We focused on 4 areas of intervention: infrastructure support, community organizing, administrative capacity building and water compliance. Up to this day, and thanks to Water for Us Alliance -Oxfam, Hispanic Federation and PRCF-, we've been able to work with 30. Goal: 200.
