Description

The passage of Hurricane Beryl brought significant devastation to Southern St. Elizabeth, leaving the farming community in disarray. Fierce winds and torrential rains destroyed crops, damaged irrigation systems, and eroded fertile soil, leading to substantial agricultural losses. Many farmers lost their entire harvests, leaving them without income and resources to recover. In the aftermath of the hurricane, farmers urgently need financial assistance to replant and rebuild, access to seeds and farming equipment. Additionally, mental health support and community resources are essential to help them navigate the emotional toll of the disaster and rebuild their livelihoods.
