HURRICANE MELISSA RELIEF OUTREACH

Hurricane Melissa has devastated much of southwestern Jamaica. Areas like St. Elizabeth, the South Coast, Manchester, Clarendon, St. James, and Trelawny have been severely affected. Most rural communities are cut off from basic care and essential services.

In these areas, people have lost access to necessities such as clean water, electricity, communication, and safe shelter, leaving families struggling to survive in harsh conditions.

That’s where we come in.

We are Streets of Jamaica First Aid Relief Outreach, a grassroots initiative of international and Jamaican community activists providing resource navigation, emergency first aid, and essential nutrients in the aftermath of the storm.

This outreach is in collaboration with Humanity Ova Vanity.

Our Mission

To reach the most isolated and underserved communities with hands-on care, first aid, and coordination support, ensuring that no one is left behind.

What We Provide

First aid for wounds, burns, and minor trauma

Essential hygiene and sanitation supplies

Nutrient support for vulnerable groups

Resource navigation connecting families to food, water, and shelter

Data collection to support NfT and other medical partners in identifying urgent needs and enabling appropriate prescriptions and follow-up care

We are coordinating with other outreach groups to ensure that relief reaches those who need it most while we stay laser-focused on first aid and emergency care.
