 DonateJamaica joins with the rest of Jamaica in appealing for your continued contributions to help the relief effort in Haiti.
After the 7+ magnitude earthquake on Tuesday, January 12, Haiti is now in a desperate state with many injured and millions homeless. Our hearts go out to those who have had the disaster compounded by the loss of family and friends, along with jobs and livelihoods. It will take a massive influx of funds and skills to get Haiti back to some semblance of normality but the good people in Jamaica and around the world have been answering the call. The response from corporate Jamaica and from the average Joe in the street has been amazing. Everyone sympathizes with the Haitians. Every so often, the thought crosses that it could so easily have been us and we would really want everyone to help. There are many funds and charities that have established channels for giving cash or kind. We will make every effort to present those to you as accurately as we can.  Drop Off Points/Agencies
