Humanitarian Operations

Who we are

Humanitarian Operations – (HOPE) is a 'First Responder Disaster Relief Agency' established on September 1st, 2004, when the Bahamian Government became overwhelmed by the disaster and destruction caused by Hurricane Frances.

At the end of 2018, many of those involved sought approval to establish a charitable organisation that would be free to assist on a needs-assessed basis - in line with the principles established by the United Nations.

Humanitarian Operations has now had to effectively start from scratch - with the only asset retained being the invaluable experience held by those that have remained in place to continue the efforts that help so many lives. The team has operated and provided much needed assistance in every major disaster location since its formation, including: the Haitian Earthquake, the Indian Ocean Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and the floods in India. It is impossible to quantify the number of lives that have been saved.
