Every pin on the FindMyHydrant map only matters if people can actually reach it. That takes a website that stays online, day and night, for every community across the Provinces that relies on it. That’s where Screentime comes in, and it’s time we said thank you properly.
What would FindMyHydrant do without the help of Screentime?
Shannon and Richard, the Co-Founder of Screentime, have a relationship that goes far back. When Shannon approached Richard and asked if he would be interested in supporting this initiative through hosting the website, he did not hesitate to get on board and help.
With the generosity of Screentime, we are able to keep FindMyHydrant live and reachable to the public, who can view the website whenever they need it. That reliability plays a crucial part in our mission – a fire hydrant map is only useful if it’s there the moment someone, or a first responder, needs to find a hydrant fast.
Why Free Hosting Matters for a Community Project
FindMyHydrant is a free, community-powered platform. We don’t charge residents to use the map, and we rely on people like Richard to help us keep it that way. Hosting costs are one of those behind-the-scenes expenses that most people never think about, but without them, there is no map, no app, and no way for Josh and our other field advisors to verify hydrant pins in real time.
Screentime stepping in to sponsor our hosting means every rand raised through community support can go further, toward growing our coverage and improving the tools first responders and residents depend on.
More Than Just Hosting
Other than hosting, Screentime also offers a range of services, including:
- Digital Strategy
- E-Commerce
- Digital Marketing
- Web Apps
If your business needs a partner who understands both technology and community impact, Screentime is worth a conversation.
Our Thanks, from the Whole Team
To Richard and the entire Screentime team – thank you. Your support keeps FindMyHydrant online, keeps our map accurate and accessible, and helps us move closer to a country where every hydrant can be found when it counts.
If you’d like to support FindMyHydrant too, whether through community involvement or backing our mission the way Screentime has, we’d love to hear from you.
