In the wake of Hurricane Melissa, which left many Jamaicans without access to clean water, Mission Mules, a Christian non-profit disaster response organization, has stepped in to provide a vital solution. The organization has deployed a reverse osmosis machine to purify water in Great Bay, near Treasure Beach in southern St Elizabeth. The machine, operational since Sunday, has been supplying thousands of gallons of purified water daily from a local pond that formed due to flooding caused by the hurricane. This initiative has become a lifeline for the community, especially after the nearby water pumping station’s generator was damaged during the Category 5 storm, leaving residents without a reliable water supply.
