Jamaica - Hurricane Melissa Relief
When Hurricane Melissa devastated Jamaica, it left entire communities without roofs, without power, and without a way to call for help. The Jarrett Foundation has activated a bold, two-phase mission to bring emergency relief and build long-term resilience across the island.

PHASE 1 - Emergency Relief
Delivering One All-in-One Life Saving Emergency Tool
Our first priority is to get an Emergency Solar Survival Unit into every affected home.
This single, compact device replaces multiple emergency items and provides light, power, and communication even in total blackout conditions.
This life-saving tool functions as:
- A solar-powered light
- A wind-up radio
- A wind-up phone charger
- A kinetic energy generator when there is no sunlight
Families can create their own power through the wind-up system, ensuring they can stay safe, informed, and connected in any conditions.
The Emergency Solar Survival Unit allows people to:
- Stay safe with bright, reliable lighting
- Stay informed via radio broadcast updates
- Stay connected by charging phones using solar or kinetic energy
- Stay prepared throughout prolonged outages or severe weather
This tool is fast to deploy, and instantly life-changing. With support from the UK diaspora and Jarrett Foundation teams on the ground, these units are being delivered quickly to the hardest-hit communities.

PHASE 2 — Rebuilding Jamaica with Solar Roofs
PHASE 2 — Rebuilding Jamaica with Innovative Solar Roofs Made from Rubber
Once immediate safety and communication are restored, Phase 2 begins: rebuilding Jamaica with solar-integrated roofing made from durable rubber and peel-and-stick solar technology.
These next-generation roofs
- Permanent and reliable
- Fast to install
- Scalable across whole communities
- Clean-energy generating
- Job-creating, training Jamaican workers in renewable-energy skills
Your support helps install a durable, scalable solar roof that brings both protection and electricity in just one day—no special equipment, no delays, just immediate transformation for families who need it most.
Peel-&-Stick Solar: Roof and Power in Hours, Not Weeks
Our peel-and-stick solar technology is a breakthrough solution built for speed, simplicity, and large-scale deployment. This ultra-light solar film adheres directly to metal or rubber roofs, instantly turning each surface into a clean-energy generator. With no heavy machinery, no complex tools, and no specialist installation required, an individual roof can be completed in just a few hours, giving families immediate access to electricity. Entire communities can then be equipped over the following weeks, dramatically accelerating the restoration of power and supporting Jamaica’s long-term move toward sustainable energy.
Local Jamaican Installation Team
We have a ready-to-deploy Jamaican technical team made up of certified roofers, engineers, and architects who can begin work immediately. Their expertise ensures high-quality installations from day one, while enabling rapid progress across multiple parishes. By relying on Jamaican professionals, we are not only ensuring excellence—we are creating local jobs, strengthening skills within the community, and ensuring the economic impact of the rebuild stays in Jamaica.
