As part of Bamboo Bioproducts' Hurricane Melissa recovery programme, Friendship Primary School has received a new backup generator to strengthen resilience during power outages. The initiative, supported by ANDRITZ, reflects a shared commitment to supporting communities local to the BBP project in western Jamaica.

Hurricane Melissa tested communities across western Jamaica. This post reflects on what we observed — from the performance of our bamboo test plots to our people-first response — and the lessons shaping how we work alongside our local communities.
