HURRICANE BERYL RESPONSE ShelterBox is responding in the Caribbean after Hurricane Beryl left a trail of destruction across the island nations. We will be providing emergency shelter and essential aid items to thousands of people displaced in the hurricane alongside our partner Rotary. Our response is focused on the islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique in Grenada, where most buildings, homes, and schools have been destroyed—Carriacou Island was flattened in just 30 minutes. Thousands of people have lost their homes and are living out in the open or in overcrowded buildings. Stagnant water from the storm brings a high risk of disease, with dengue fever common in these areas. We’ll be providing relief tents and training to support people in setting up their temporary homes. We’ll also provide solar lights, cooking sets, and mosquito nets. These items are not just essential for survival - they can provide a sense of comfort and routine in the uncertainty of disaster. Please donate today. |

| How your donation enables recovery: |
|
| | Tents provide somewhere to sleep as well as a place to call home where families can be together. With no power, a solar light means you can spend time together after dark. Cooking sets mean a hot meal. Mosquito nets provide protection from disease. |
|
| We need your help. In times of disaster, everyone deserves a safe place to call home. Your support allows us to be there for those in need, like the people of Grenada. As hurricane season intensifies, we know we'll be called upon again. Watch our latest response update directly from the field in Barbados and help us prepare for the next storm. Your generosity ensures we can continue providing life-saving aid to those who need it most. |
