GBPA Launches Independent Fundraising Arm to FUND Dorian Relief Efforts on Grand Bahama
New Providence, Bahamas – In the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian scores governmental and non-government agencies have begun the work of rebuilding the country’s most northern islands. On Grand Bahama Island, the Grand Bahama Port Authority (GBPA), under its mandate as a quasi-governmental agency, has begun spearheading these efforts to bring relief to, and provide refuge for, the thousands of residents displaced by the storm.
“What we have seen thus far is truly an outpouring of concern for the people of Grand Bahama, and it is our intention to ensure that all of that aid is being distributed in ways that it can provide the most impact for those affected,” said Rupert Hayward Executive Director of the Grand Bahama Port Authority.
