BAHAMAS RECONSTRUCTION
1 week–10 day mission trips available throughout the year
AFTER THE HURRICANES ...
Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas in the fall of 2019. MTW sent teams to start the work in the Bahamas, mostly on the island of Abaco. Then COVID-19 struck and all travel to the Bahamas ceased until recently. Once again, MTW is undertaking the task of sending teams. Although many homeowners in the Bahamas have already started to rebuild, less fortunate homeowners have not.
