Puerto Rico is facing an official drought. Communities across the island are experiencing water rationing, while an aging and fragile water infrastructure is making an already difficult situation worse.
For many families, losing water is an inconvenience. For an elderly person living alone, it can become a crisis.
At The Happy Givers, we serve hundreds of older adults in our communities every week. Right now, we have already identified more than 20 elderly people who are living without reliable running water.
Some receive water only intermittently. Some depend on neighbors. Some are carrying containers of water into their homes. Others have little or no running water at all.
We want (need) to change that.
