When Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica, it damaged homes, schools, and vital community infrastructure. Families across the island are rebuilding their lives while facing disruptions in power, water, healthcare, and daily essentials. In this moment, partners across the region and around the world are stepping in to help deliver relief, supplies, and long-term support.
This page lists trusted organizations working on the ground. Each group is active in recovery efforts and gives you a direct way to support communities that need help now.
GOVERNMENT OF JAMAICA
Support Jamaica is the Government of Jamaica’s official disaster relief and recovery portal, created to provide accurate information and secure ways for the public to assist after national emergencies such as Hurricane Melissa. The platform connects donors directly to verified government-approved relief efforts, ensuring that contributions reach the communities and sectors most in need.
INTERCARIBBEAN AIRWAYS
At interCaribbean, our support began before Hurricane Melissa made landfall. We helped students travel safely, assisted relief partners with early planning, and moved essential personnel and supplies as the storm approached. That work continued through the aftermath, and we remain committed for the long run.

The Jamaica Red Cross, supported by the IFRC, is leading emergency relief efforts across the island following Hurricane Melissa. Their trained volunteers are providing immediate assistance to affected communities through the distribution of food, clean water, hygiene kits, blankets, and tarpaulins. Mobile teams are supporting families whose homes were damaged, offering shelter materials and essential supplies to help them recover safely.
SANDLAS FOUNDATION
The Sandals Foundation is dedicated to strengthening communities across Jamaica through education, community development, and environmental protection. In times of crisis, including the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, the Foundation expands its mission to provide immediate assistance to families in need. Their teams work closely with local partners to deliver essential supplies, support school recovery, and help rebuild community infrastructure.
CARIBBEAN DISASTER EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
