What we have done so far

Response
The purchase and transport of 1000s items	In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, Windward Aid mobilised partnerships and resources from the neighbouring islands of Barbados and Trinidad to deliver 1,395 essential relief items, including food, clothing, and generators. These supplies were directed to families in Grenada, particularly in Carriacou and Petit Martinique. Our rapid response provided critical support to thousands in their time of need.
Coordination of containers sent from the diaspora	We collaborated with the diaspora in the UK and US to assist in sending containers of aid to Grenada.
Providing for those in need	We collaborated with the communities to identify those in greatest need and aimed to provide them with essential items, such as generators.
Partnerships	Collaborated and created partnerships with the charitable organisations such as Caritas to extend assistance to those in need across the islands.
Recovery
Project Aqua	We dispatched 200,000 bottles of water and ten generators from the Dominican Republic to the residents of Carriacou and Petit Martinique, with assistance from Caritas, the government of Grenada, and NADMA.
Scholarships	We have established a scholarship program through Beyrl to support affected children, ensuring they continue to receive education and maintain stability.
Sea moss association	We helped establish and support a Sea Moss Association that collaborated with over 50 sea moss farmers to support their recovery, ensure they can continue their trade, support their families, and contribute to the agricultural economy of Grenada.
Soursop association	We partnered with the farmers in the soursop production to assist them in recovering following the destruction caused by Beryl.
Rebuilding with CIEL	Collaborating with CIEL to construct homes in the northern region of Grenada and develop innovative methods for hurricane-resistant housing.
Restoration
Building of homes	We are seeking to support the Government of Grenada in the rebuilding of homes in Carriacou and Petit Martinique.
Water Desalination plant	To assist in the development of a water desalination system for the island of Grenada.
Resilience and Sustainability
Early detection systems	To conduct thorough research and develop aimed at enhancing technological capabilities and fostering innovative solutions that will focus on the creation of early detection systems and software. To provide the region with products that can identify potential issues or threats promptly, enabling proactive measures and minimizing risks across various sectors.
Athletics and Swimming	In Grenada, efforts are being made to construct an athletics track and swimming program for the youth. This initiative aims to support and develop young athletes who may become future Olympians.

Together, we can make a difference and rebuild a stronger, more resilient Caribbean community.

The Caribbean is highly vulnerable to natural disasters, which can cause widespread devastation. As we recently witnessed in the nations of Grenada and St Vincent experiencing catastrophic impacts during one event.

These examples underscore the broader vulnerability of the Caribbean, where economies are heavily susceptible to natural disasters

The recurring nature of these events highlights the urgent need for regional resilience planning, disaster preparedness, and international cooperation to mitigate the impacts. Windward Aid is invested assisting the region for the future in climate adaptation, infrastructure strengthening, and community education. Our essential commitment is to protect lives, support recovery efforts, and ensure sustainable development across the Caribbean.
