Puerto Rico Needs Our Support

Puerto Rico is facing a serious water crisis, with drought conditions and ongoing infrastructure challenges affecting reliable access to drinking water in communities across the island.

The Puerto Rican Agenda of Chicago is activating 3Rs for Puerto Rico: Rescue, Relief, Rebuild to help purchase drinking water in Puerto Rico and distribute it to communities experiencing the greatest need.

Our Response

Funds raised through this campaign will be used to purchase pallets of bottled water in Puerto Rico and support their distribution through community organizations, municipal partners, and other trusted networks on the island.

Purchasing supplies locally allows the campaign to respond to changing needs while also directing resources into Puerto Rico's economy.

Solidarity, Not Charity

Our work is rooted in solidarity.

The Puerto Rican Agenda believes the most effective response is one shaped by relationships with people and organizations on the ground. We are communicating with community partners and municipal leadership to identify communities experiencing significant water needs and capable of receiving and distributing supplies.

Specific distributions will be shared as they are confirmed.

Your Donation at Work

Every contribution helps us purchase and move more drinking water into communities that need it.

A Proven Model

This effort builds upon the strategy developed through the Puerto Rican Agenda's Hurricane Maria response, when the Agenda mobilized resources, partnerships, volunteers, and emergency supplies for communities across the island.

Today, we are activating that network again.

Rescue. Relief. Rebuild.

Stand with Puerto Rico. Help us get water where it is needed most.

Solidarity, not charity.
