Your gift will help to increase food security for families in Abaco that are still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Dorian and the effects of the COVID 19 Global Pandemic. You will be providing supplies for over 200 Backyard Farmers, and providing breakfast to 235 school children.
Challenge
The tourist driven economy in Abaco is very susceptible to disrupting factors such as natural disasters, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the world economy. Following the devastation of Hurricane Dorian and a Global Pandemic, many families are still struggling to get back on their feet. The cost of food has risen dramatically and food security is an issue. The unemployment rate remains high and well paying jobs are hard to come by.
Long-Term Impact
The increase of agriculture practices for personal and commercial use will help to reduce dependence on imports and improve economic well being for families and individuals in Abaco.
