AFUWI - Hurricane Melissa Relief & Recovery Fund
While we share deep concern for the well-being of our fellow Jamaicans at home in the wake of Hurricane Melissa, we know that concern alone is not enough — our help is urgently needed to rebuild lives”
NEW YORK , NY, UNITED STATES, October 31, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm that unleashed catastrophic damage across Jamaica, the American Foundation for the University of the West Indies (AFUWI) is issuing an urgent call for support.— Ann-Marie Grant, AFUWI Executive Director
Entire communities—particularly in rural and coastal parishes—have been devastated. Homes have been reduced to rubble, farmlands destroyed, and thousands of families displaced. Roads and infrastructure lie in ruins, and access to food, clean water, and medical care remains dangerously limited.
As Jamaica begins its long and arduous journey to recovery, AFUWI is mobilizing resources to provide emergency relief and essential support to affected families—especially those in underserved communities—and to students at the University of the West Indies, whose education and well-being have been severely impacted.
To maximize impact, AFUWI will partner with trusted nonprofit organizations on the ground that have a proven track record of accountability and effectiveness in disaster response and community rebuilding.
AFUWI invites the public, corporations, and members of the Caribbean diaspora to stand in solidarity with Jamaica during this critical time. Your contribution—no matter the size—will help rebuild lives, restore dignity, and renew the spirit of resilience that defines the Jamaican people.
Every dollar counts. Every act of kindness matters.
