Taraji Foundation provides flood relief in St. Vincent and the Grenadines

The Taraji Foundation Inc. has conducted relief distributions for families affected by the heavy rains and flooding that struck St. Vincent and the Grenadines on October 6, 2026. On October 24, the organization held an operation at the National Insurance Services Golden Years Activity Centre in Buccament, targeting households from Buccament, Questelles, and surrounding communities.

Relief packages included food, drinking water, clothing, footwear, bedding, linens, personal hygiene products, and cleaning materials. To address the emotional impact of the disaster on younger residents, the foundation provided psychosocial support through recreational materials such as coloring pads, games, and sensory toys. The organization noted that these efforts aim to reach families whose needs may not be fully captured by official shelter figures, including those staying in damaged homes or with relatives.

Foundation president and co-founder Janelle Cox-Douglas led the initiative, utilizing specialized training in last-mile distribution. The foundation plans to extend its assistance to Mesopotamia as recovery efforts continue.
