HUMAN CONNECTION
In Arizona, where summer temperatures exceed 110°F, access to clean water can mean the difference between life and death. HydrateForty8 delivers hope directly to vulnerable populations experiencing homelessness, poverty, and housing instability.
The Crisis
HEAT KILLS.
WATER SAVES.
427 people died from heat-related causes in Maricopa County last year. In a region where summer temperatures exceed 110°F, access to water can mean the difference between life and death.
"Because in Arizona, water isn't just water. It's hope."
