Support Our People. Protect Our Community. Rebuild Our Future.
Delivering immediate, on-the-ground support to communities in crisis.


Hurricane Melissa is hitting Jamaica now. Families are being displaced. Livelihoods are at risk. Communities are in crisis.

We’re acting immediately to provide relief and prepare for the long road to recovery, and we need your help.

Your donation is a lifeline today and in the days to come.


Accountability & Transparency: Led with Integrity
JACANA is a Jamaican wellness company with deep roots in St. Ann. We are a for-profit business — not a nonprofit — but we’re stepping up in this crisis to help our community survive and recover.

With local operations, specialised team members, and tractors/vehicles and equipment already in place, 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 immediate, on-the-ground support where it’s needed most.

This relief fund for Hurricane Melissa will ensure that 100% of donations go directly to relief and rebuilding efforts across our communities.

  • Clear line-item reporting with full transparency
  • Regular updates, photos, and stories from our team on the ground
  • Any surplus funds will go to long-term community initiatives in education, children’s support, and healthcare

Who Are JACANA?
Founded in 2017, JACANA is a proud Jamaican company. Our mission is grounded in plant-powered healing and the strength of our people and land.

This is more than relief. This is renewal.
Let’s stand together to protect what we’ve built, care for those affected, and rebuild Jamaica’s future, stronger and more united than ever.

Donate today to the JACANA Hurricane Melissa Relief Fund.
Every dollar helps. Every act of generosity matters.
