Disaster Profile

On September 6, 2017, Category 5 Hurricane Irma made landfall in the British Virgin Islands (BVI). She left catastrophic damage in her wake. Almost two weeks later, on September 19, Category 4 Hurricane Maria also affected BVI.

Our Work 

The educational facilities on the island of Tortola were severely impacted by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. We focused on restoring these damaged education facilities on the island.

Our Impact 

With thanks to one of our partners; Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, LTD, we received a record-breaking donation. This enabled us to launch a program in Tortola; the largest of the British Virgin Islands. Here, our team of dedicated volunteers and staff focused their efforts on assisting disaster-impacted schools.
