Description

    On October 28, Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica – the country’s first hurricane in over a decade and the first Category 5 to ever strike the island. It has been described as “the storm of the century” for Jamaica.

    50,000 people have been displaced and 500,000 have been left without power. Southwest Jamaica, the country’s breadbasket, has been devastated by flooding, threatening a prolonged humanitarian crisis.

    Receiving money – without strings attached – supports families’ short term survival and long term recovery. Cash aid is fast and fully remote, letting families meet essential needs quickly and reaching them via digital transfers that don’t tax fragile supply chains or clog transit routes.

    GiveDirectly has previously sent emergency cash to survivors of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, LA wildfires, Kenya floods, and many other disasters.

    GiveDirectly's mission is to reshape international giving, making unconditional, direct cash transfers to the poor the benchmark against which other interventions are evaluated. We believe the best way of achieving this mission is by maximizing cash delivered to the poor, with the ultimate aim of ending extreme poverty.
