Hurricane Dorian: Bahamas Disaster Appeal
We are joining forces with our colleagues in USA and Canada and gearing up to help the survivors of Hurricane Dorian in The Bahamas .
The unusually slow speed of this storm has resulted in it ‘hovering’ over The Bahamas as a Category 5 Hurricane causing, as yet, unknown amounts of damage as it weakened to a Category 3 Hurricane.
A team of volunteers is on standby to go to The Bahamas to assess the needs of the survivors and will leave as soon as possible. We expect these needs to include water filters, tents, tarpaulins, hygiene kits, tool kits, etc.
Will you please help us to help others?
- £1,000 will help to deliver a community water filter capable of providing up to 1,000 litres an hour of potable water for up to 10 years.
- £250 will help to deliver home repair kits.
- £50 will help to supply a tarpaulin for home repair and/or a temporary shelter.
- £25 will help to supply a water filter for a family.
- £10 will help provide hand tools to assist with rebuilding a family home.
