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.

Trade-Works Foundation's mission is to unlock the untapped potential of under-resourced youth globally.
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.
