Project 20-20-20

20 modest 20’ x 20’ (400sq.ft) hurricane-resistant houses for families left homeless by Hurricane Beryl.

Hurricane Beryl, which struck Grenada in July 2024, caused substantial economic damage. Preliminary estimates indicated losses of approximately $430 million which represents approximately 33.8% of Grenada’s nominal GDP.

Approximately 32% of Grenada’s population lives below the poverty line, with 13% considered extremely poor. Poverty is more prevalent in rural agricultural areas like the Parish of St. Patrick due to limited access to economic opportunities.

In the wake of Hurricane Beryl’s devastation, the people of northern Grenada, especially in the Parish of St. Patrick and surrounding agricultural communities, face an unimaginable crisis. Families who have lived in these villages for generations, working tirelessly on the land to provide for their children, have seen their homes shattered in an instant.

For many in this region, their homes were not just places of shelter—they were the only security they had.

With limited income and no financial safety net, these families now find themselves living in makeshift structures, exposed to the elements, unsure of how they will ever rebuild.

Northern Grenada has always been a place of resilience and self-sufficiency. The people here have relied on small-scale farming, fishing, and local markets to survive. But with entire livelihoods washed away—crops flattened, boats destroyed, and homes reduced to rubble—many lack even the most basic means to get back on their feet. Insurance is not an option and Government support is stretched thin. And without intervention, hundreds will remain displaced, living in unsafe conditions indefinitely.

This initiative is about more than rebuilding homes. It’s about restoring dignity, security, and hope. It’s about making sure that the children don’t have to sleep under leaking tarps, that elderly farmers don’t have to live in unsafe structures, and that families aren’t left alone to fend for themselves when they have already lost so much.

By rebuilding 20 homes, we are not just providing walls and roofs—we are giving families the foundation to rebuild their lives. Each home will be constructed with hurricane-resistant materials, ensuring that these communities are not just rebuilt, but are made stronger and safer for the future.

Through partnerships, donations, and collective action, we can ensure that these families don’t just survive this tragedy—but that they emerge from it with renewed strength, stability, and the opportunity to thrive once again.
