After the most powerful hurricane to ever hit Jamaica, migrant farm workers are asking for your help.
As flights resume to the island, workers urgently need assistance getting home from the airport. Road closures due to landslides, downed power lines, and fallen trees mean a 20-minute taxi trip now requires an expensive 3-hour detour. They have no idea to what level of devastation they will arrive.

About This Effort
Migrant Workers Alliance for Change is providing direct support to Jamaican farm worker members impacted by the devastating storm. Many of these workers split their time between Canada and Jamaica as part of seasonal agricultural programs, and they’re facing this crisis both in Canada and now in Jamaica.
Your contribution goes directly to migrant workers and their families who need it most— no administrative fees, just direct relief.
