CURRENT NEED

Trade-Works Foundation is stepping up to support our community in Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa. While we’re not a traditional disaster relief organization, our deep connections with local community and schools means we can directly reach the people who need help. Many of our students are currently homeless as their home was estoyed. Sometheir shops and workplaces also destroyed. Together we can support!

Our team just returned from our second weekend distributing emergency aid across Jamaica, reaching hundreds of individuals with food, clean water, clothing, and flashlights. But the devastation runs deeper. Many families have lost their homes completely, and some are now using broken pieces of wood or zinc from what was their home to create makeshift shelter.

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.

Your donation will go directly to helping families recover by providing:

  • 🏠 Roofing materials and lumber to rebuild damaged homes
  • ⛺️ Waterproof tents and sleeping bags for temporary, safe shelter
  • 🔋 Solar lights and power banks for most communities are still without electricity and water and will be for some time
  • 🍲 Food, clean water, and basic essentials for immediate relief

Every dollar helps a family take one step closer to safety, dignity, and stability.
We are on the ground, delivering supplies directly.

Your support goes straight to the people who need it most. Donate today to help families in Jamaica rebuild and recover.

How does it work?

Utilizing volunteer teams of trade industry experts, we promote self-sustainability and business building through workshops. Teaching skills development, and supplying attendees with the tools necessary to begin a career in their chosen trade.

We hold intensive workshops in the creative trade industries for disadvantaged youth in Jamaica. These youth have not been able to afford proper schooling nor the tools to begin a career, and with your support, we are meeting this need.
