What's Happening

After the La Soufriere Volcano began erupting on April 9, residents of the island of St. Vincent were forced to shelter in place, in schools, in private homes, or wherever they could go to avoid falling debris and ash. On April 13, WHO reported that between 16,00 and 20,000 islanders had evacuated. The entire island was left without clean water and electricity.

doTERRA Healing Hands® sent 200 72-Hour Emergency Relief Hygiene Kits to the occupants of the island. The airport was closed because of ash in the airspace, so a shipping company in Miami was integral to getting the eight boxes of kits to the St. Vincent port. Kits were distributed to many of the evacuees in need.
