Trade-Works Hurricane Melissa Relief

Help Families in Jamaica Rebuild After Hurricane Melissa 🇯🇲

Trade-Works Foundation is directly supporting our friends in Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa. Our deep connections with local community and schools means we can directly reach the people who need help.

The devastation runs deep. One month in and many families are still living in unsafe structures, outdoors, or in partially collapsed homes. Power outages are expected to last for months, and the environmental conditions are creating urgent health and safety risks, especially for children.

On top of that, many have lost their source of income, their farms destroyed, animals gone, shops collapsed, or vehicles so damaged they can’t get to work. With no home, no power, and no means to rebuild, this is the heartbreaking reality for so many.

As we shift from emergency relief into the rebuilding phase, our greatest need is support for reconstructing safe, durable homes for families throughout Westmoreland and surrounding communities affected by Hurricane Melissa.

To continue this work, we need funding, building materials, partnerships, and skilled support.

Funding for Home Rebuilds

We need financial support to:

• Hire local builders
• Purchase building materials
• Rebuild simple, strong, storm-resilient homes families can expand over time

This is the fastest and most impactful way to help families regain safety and stability.

Solar Power & Communication

Because some areas will be without power for months, we need:

• Solar power banks, Solar chargers, Solar lanterns
• Communication tools (Starlink, etc.)

Support for Mothers & Children

We are still purchasing:

• Diapers
• Children’s clothing
• Undergarments
• Hygiene essentials

Our Rebuilding Mission

We are working with local builders to finalize affordable, hurricane-resilient home designs. Once complete, we will deploy teams to rebuild home by home, creating safe, expandable structures families can grow into.
