Project REBUILD

Help Us Reach 1,000 Children Affected by Hurricane Melissa

In the wake of Hurricane Melissa, children across Jamaica’s hardest-hit western parishes still need our help. At least 100 primary and infant schools are located in regions severely affected by the storm, leaving families struggling to rebuild their homes, livelihoods, and sense of normalcy. A Thousand Miles is stepping in to restore hope—one backpack, one smile, one child at a time. Donate Now.

What Your Donation Supports

  • 1,000 fully packed relief backpacks containing non-perishable food, hygiene products, clothing, and educational materials for children in the hardest-hit communities
