<div><strong>Accountability &amp; Transparency: Led with Integrity</strong>
</div>
<div>JACANA is a Jamaican wellness company with deep roots in St. Ann.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We have set up the JACANA Foundation, a not for profit organization — and we’re stepping up in this crisis to help our community survive and recover.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> With local operations, specialised team members, and tractors/vehicles and equipment already in place,</strong> we’re uniquely positioned to respond faster than anyone else. Our team lives and works in these communities, giving us the access, trust, and capability to deliver <strong>immediate, on-the-ground support</strong> where it’s needed most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This relief fund for Hurricane Melissa will ensure that 100% of donations go directly to relief and rebuilding efforts across our communities.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Clear line-item reporting with full transparency
</li>
<li>Regular updates, photos, and stories from our team on the ground

</ul>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>Additional Details</strong>
</div>
<div>I'm Alexandra Chong, CEO at Jacana. I’m organising this fundraiser on behalf of families and small businesses in St Ann and surrounding communities affected by Hurricane Melissa, with our 80+ JACANA team supporting them on the ground. With our operations in the heart of St Ann, we have an advantage to quickly mobilise our team and resources (vehicles, tractors, equipment) to get critical support out to affected members of St Ann and neighboring communities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Who receives the funds</em></strong>
</div>
<div>Donations will be paid out to JACANA USA Wellness Inc. (a US-registered corporation). These funds will then be transferred to our Jamaican Not for Profit, The JACANA Foundation, which is coordinating the local relief effort.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>How funds will be used </em></strong>
</div>
<div>Phase 1 - Emergency Relief (Days 0–30): clean water, ready-to-eat meals, shelter kits (tarps, blankets, solar lamps, hygiene), urgent medical support and evacuations, and clearing roads/debris to reopen access for aid.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Phase 2 — Recovery &amp; Rebuild: rebuilding homes and livelihoods; restarting small businesses; reconstructing critical infrastructure (irrigation, backup power, cold storage, access roads) to protect jobs and local supply chains; restoring community essentials (schools, roads, water, power).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>If we manage funds for beneficiaries</em></strong>
</div>
<div>With consent from beneficiaries, Jacana will manage funds on their behalf by:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Direct procurement &amp; distribution of supplies to households and farm workers;
</li>
<li>Utilising our labor force to support in the on-going relief efforts
</li>
<li>Vendor payments for verified repairs and essential services;
</li>
<li>Targeted cash assistance (where appropriate) to the most impacted families/small businesses, with receipt collection and verification.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Transparency: </em></strong>
</div>
<div>We will publish regular updates and a clear line-item report showing how funds were allocated by category and location on our JACANA channels.
</div>
