About Us
It all began with Cyclone Sidr in Bangladesh, where we
became involved in a shelters project.
We recognized the importance of volunteers skilled in
specialized sectors. As a result SIDR was born. Following Bangladesh, we
went to Gonaive ,Haiti in the wake of hurricanes Ike and Hannah. There we
assisted in the recovery process, including: the rehabilitation of nearly
300 wells providing clean water for thousands, to using our expertise in
Safe Site analysis for shelter projects, to latrine project design and
implementation. We have trained crews in proper construction techniques in
disaster resilient homes in Haiti and in the Philippines post Bopha on
Mindanao and on Leyte post Typhoon Haiyan.
It is our mission to teach and train locals with whom
we work how to organize and implement long term solutions to surviving the
next natural disaster. Creating long term sustainable livelihoods after the
relief phase is done. So that the communities are brought past the recovery
phase and are self sufficient.
SIDR is 100% volunteer ran, we all pay our own way to
so that every dollar goes where its needed.. in the hands of those
who need it most!!
