SUPPORTING THE RECOVERY EFFORTS IN THE AFTERMATH OF HURRICANE DORIAN – BAHAMAS

The Didier and Martine Primat Foundation granted support to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies for the provision of basic services and long-term recovery efforts in the Bahamas related to the damage caused by Hurricane Dorian.

This grant will contribute to the anticipated outcomes of the overall response under the IFRC Emergency Appeal which are outlined below:

  • Restoring and strengthening the safety, well-being and longer-term recovery of communities in disaster affected areas through shelter and settlement solutions.
  • Sustainable reduction in risk of waterborne and water related diseases in targeted communities in the recovery phase.
  • Reduction of the immediate and medium-term risks to the health of affected population.
  • Restoring and strengthening the livelihoods of communities in disaster and crisis affected areas.
  • Identifying and addressing the distinct needs of the most vulnerable and particularly disadvantaged and marginalized groups, as a result of inequality, discrimination and other non-respect of their human rights.
  • Supporting the needs of migrants and their families and those assisting migrants at all stages of migration (origin, transit and destination).
  • Disaster preparedness and prevention of communities in high risk areas.
