Hurricanes Irma and Maria (2017) have devastated the Caribbean islands of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, St. Martin/St. Maarten, Barbuda, Dominica, and many others. Beyond the immediate need for life sustaining supplies, the local health and well-being infrastructures will require long-term support to rebuild and resume the care of millions of Caribbean people.

To aid in the rebuilding effort, The ECHORN (Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network) Hurricane Relief Fund and The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven are raising funds to help local, Caribbean nonprofit organizations meet the health and well-being needs of their communities. Organizations could use funds to replace destroyed or lost medical supplies, coordinate outreach to rebuild client databases, upgrade facilities to solar power or other renewable energy sources, physically relocate to a new space, or rebuild other vital resources that were lost after the storm. 

These nonprofit organizations and many more like them will need a great deal of support to meet the needs of their local citizens. ECHORN is committed to these communities over the long term to help restore the necessary health and social services infrastructure for the well-being of all who live there.
