After Dorian damages their boats, fishers are left unable to ply their trade.

For some communities in the Bahamas, fishing is the primary source of income. Now that Dorian has damaged their boats, fishers are left unable to ply their trade. A local fisherman, Joseph Thomas, leads a project that will help those who rely on fishing to rebuild their lives. Over $10,000-worth of materials have been donated by an international NGO so that Joseph and his team can repair boats.
