ADRA - “Love in Action”
Home Construction Project Justice. Compassion. Love.
About Us:
The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) Bahamas is the national office of the humanitarian arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. We deliver relief and development assistance to individuals, regardless of their ethnicity, political affiliation, gender, or religious association. Incorporated under the Companies Act and registered as a non-profit company in The Bahamas, our goal is to serve humanity, so all may live as God intended. By partnering with local communities, organizations and governments, we are able to deliver culturally relevant programs and build local capability for sustainable change. We do this through programs that focus on education, agriculture and livelihoods, and emergency management inclusive of disaster risk reduction and resilience.
Background:
The Love in Action Project has successfully seen the completion of twenty-five housing structures in less than twelve months throughout Great Abaco and has an aim to continue these efforts to aid in the return of families affected by Hurricane Dorian through the loss of their homes. It is our hope to provide a stable shelter environment that meets hurricane standards and mitigates future harm and damage. Over 75,000 persons were impacted, and over 10,000 persons were displaced from Abaco alone. While rebuilding efforts are taking place, many damaged or destroyed homes are still in need of repair or construction. Many persons are still displaced either in tents, with families, or on other islands. With the continued threat of a hurricane or other natural disaster, permanent and safe storm-resistant shelters for vulnerable community households are urgently needed.
