Community-Led Rebuilding After Hurricane Melissa

After Hurricane Melissa, communities in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica were left repairing damaged homes and rebuilding stability.

The City Building Initiative (CBI) is supporting long-term recovery through trusted local church leadership, ensuring rebuilding efforts are practical, accountable, and community-led.

This is not short-term relief — it is restoration.

This ensures:

  • Local ownership

  • Responsible use of funds

  • Ongoing community support

Strong local institutions are essential to rebuilding strong communities.

Where possible, resources are used locally to strengthen the community economy.
