In the wake of Hurricane Dorian, Water Mission is working with partners and local municipalities in the Bahamas to mobilize safe water solutions quickly, but there is still much work to be done.

To assist in our relief efforts, Water Mission is seeking volunteers who are available to be on standby for three-to-four-week assignments in the Bahamas. Volunteers will assist with tasks like:

cleaning up debris
coordinating logistics
organizing and cleaning equipment
cooking and housekeeping for response teams
setting up and monitoring water treatment systems in the impacted areas of the Bahamas (primary focus is in the Abacos and on Grand Bahama)
We welcome all volunteer skill sets but are specifically seeking volunteers that have a background in construction, logistics, engineering, electrical, water treatment, or general maintenance. Any experience with reverse osmosis water treatment systems is a plus.

Water Mission will cover the following travel costs: flight from Florida to the Bahamas, in-country transportation, meals, rustic accommodation when available (volunteers must be prepared to camp), and travel medical evacuation insurance.

If you are interested in volunteering over the next few months to assist with relief efforts, please complete this application.

Volunteers need to meet the following requirements:

Must have a valid passport with at least six months of remaining validity
Must be available to travel to the Bahamas for a continuous three-to-four-week deployment
Must be able to spend extensive time outside in hot temperatures
Must be comfortable with rudimentary accommodations that could include rustic camping, no electricity, no working restrooms, no running water, etc.
Must be able to walk long distances or stand for long periods of time
Must be comfortable with unisex accommodations
Must be extremely flexible and be comfortable with unknowns
Thank you for your continued support of Water Mission and for helping us to bring safe water to the people of the Bahamas as they head down the long road of recovery and reconstruction.
