Help Dominica Recover From Hurricane Maria

Our team is now stepping in to help with one of the island’s greatest recovery needs – getting children back to school by rebuilding the Paix Bouche Primary School. The school provides education for four communities and has been consistently recognized for significantly impacting national development over the last 50 years. All Hands and Hearts – Smart Response will retrofit the entire school with disaster resistant walls and roof and repair the interiors of the buildings, the electrical system, a computer lab, the playground and all the outdoor fencing.

When complete the new school will provide a safe, disaster-resilient school for 78 students and projected to help be more than 260 children over the next 10 years. It will also serve as a place of refuge, when the next hurricane inevitably comes, for over 900 community members given its disaster resilient design.
