The goal of our foundation is to provide help to the remote Maybole/Ginger Hill/Mount Olivet communities in St. Elizabeth Jamaica. These communities like most across St. Elizabeth Jamaica suffered massive devastation from Hurricane Melisa. A detailed impact analysis of the area was completed and found the following: loss of food, water, loss of homes, livestock, farm and other major infrastructural damages. A self-reliant community of farmers is now reduced to a community of dependents.
Based on our impact analysis, we have adopted a multi-layered approach to remedy the situation. The first layer approach is to provide immediate assistance to address these communities’ food insecurities, sanitization, clothing, and other day-to-day needs. These Communities are currently disconnected from the mainland and only accessible by foot.
The second phase is the infrastructure rebuilding. We will be helping as follows:
1. Outfit farmers with livestock, seeds with supplies
2. Rebuilding homes, roofs and water catchments
3. Rebuilding community-based structures – The roof of the Maybole Full Gospel Church
4. Providing Solar Panels
5. Providing more food, clothing, sanitizing supplies, flashlights, solar chargers, toiletries
We are asking for your donations to help us with assisting these unfortunate members of these communities. We are in the process of sending our first shipment to Jamaica with several barrels of food, clothing, sanitizing supplies, flashlights, solar chargers, toiletries as phase one of our approach.
In addition to monetary donations, we are also looking for food donations, clothing donations and volunteers. Your donations are greatly appreciated.
