A warehouse that could change everything for Caribbean communitiesEvery hurricane season, thousands of families in the Caribbean live with the fear of losing everything overnight.Now, thanks to EU funding, a new humanitarian warehouse is here to help them face those moments with a little more safety — and a lot more hope.What this warehouse means in real life:🧡 Supplies that arrive faster, when people truly need them🤝 Better support for local social workers and volunteers🚑 Emergency kits, shelter materials and essentials ready to go🏝️ More resilience for small island communities that face disasters every yearIt’s a simple idea: have the right tools close by, so help can reach people before the worst happens.EU support isn’t just about programmes or investments here — it’s about giving communities the strength to recover and supporting those who dedicate their lives to helping others.A warehouse may look like just a building.But in a crisis, it can be the reason a family gets the help they need in time.#EUFunds #SocialAction #Caribbean #HumanitarianAid
