PROJECT CONNECT JAMAICA

In the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa Jamaica’s western coast has been left decimated. World-renowned destinations like Montego Bay and Negril have been catastrophically affected. Southwestern coastal cities like Black River, Savanna-la-Mar and Treasure Beach, which are monumental cities in Jamaica’s history, now lie in ruin. Here at CHGFWD we are collaborating in real time with organizations on the ground in Kingston, as well as in the affected areas. Please revisit our site for updates of our emergency assistance progam, PROJECT CONNECT JAMAICA. We are working tirelessly to make sure we can properly assist those with the greatest need at this time.

Below are items we will be needing in the next few days. For convenience we will be providing drop off locations as well as publishing our Amazon wishlist.

• Non Perishable Food Items
• Medical Supplies
• Hygiene Products
• Solar Electronics and Power Banks
• Portable WIFI Solutions
• Prayers and the Power of Social Media
