Responding to Disaster,
Promoting Community
|
Bahamas Methodist Habitat is a non profit outreach ministry of the Bahamas Conference of the Methodist Church dedicated to disaster relief and home repair in The Bahamas.
Founded in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew in 1992, BMH has since served as a catalyst for disaster relief throughout the family islands of The Bahamas and even as far as Haiti and Turks & Caicos. BMH organizes and facilitates short term missions for about 500 volunteers per year. These volunteers serve on projects that address substandard housing as part of the preparedness efforts of the disaster cycle and promotes community resiliency. |
The stronger a home and community are before a hurricane, the less risk for loss of life and possessions and the faster they and the community recover. According to studies shared by the Center for Disaster Philanthropy and Pew Trusts, every $1 spent on disaster mitigation saves $6 spend on disaster relief & recovery.
