ALIV has announced a $10,000 donation to both Abaco Strong and Waterkeepers Grand Bahama in remembrance of the communities affected by Hurricane Dorian as the five-year anniversary draws near.

“ALIV remains deeply connected to the families whose lives were profoundly impacted by Hurricane Dorian,” said Allison Levarity, vice president of consumer experience. “Our efforts during the storm were just the beginning; we continue to be devoted to the recovery and ongoing support of these communities.”

John Gomez, chief ALIV officer, said: “The strength and resilience of the people of Grand Bahama and Abaco continue to inspire us. Our contributions to Abaco Strong and Waterkeepers Grand Bahama are just a small part of our ongoing dedication to these communities. We are committed to standing by them as they rebuild and restore their lives.”

In the years since the storm, organisations such as Waterkeepers Grand Bahama and Abaco Strong have led recovery efforts. Waterkeepers Grand Bahama has focused on restoring water quality and vital ecosystems, including mangroves that naturally protect our coastlines. Abaco Strong is dedicated to rebuilding the infrastructure, economy, and sense of community in Abaco.
