HELP US REBUILD THE SAV INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY AFTER HURRICANE MELISSA

Hurricane Melissa brought devastating winds and flooding to Western Jamaica. While Negril was spared the worst, Savanna-la-Mar — the parish capital and home to The Sav Inclusive School — was hit hard.

The storm made landfall less than ten miles from our campus. Roofs were torn off, classrooms flooded, therapy rooms and learning materials destroyed, and our grounds left badly damaged. Many in the surrounding community suffered even greater loss.

The Rockhouse Foundation Hurricane Recovery Fund will provide direct support to rebuild the Sav Inclusive School and to help the students, families, and teachers most affected by the storm.

Your donation — large or small — will go directly toward:

• Repairing and rebuilding damaged classrooms and therapy spaces
• Replacing essential educational and therapeutic equipment lost to flooding
• Restoring a safe, nurturing environment where our students can return and thrive
• Providing direct assistance to the hardest-hit families, students, and teachers

For more than 20 years, the Rockhouse Foundation has been transforming education in Western Jamaica — investing over US $11 million to build schools and strengthen communities. Now, as our neighbors face this devastating aftermath, we’re asking for your help.

Every act of kindness brings us closer to reopening our doors and continuing to change young lives through inclusion, love, and learning.

The Rockhouse Foundation is a registered Jamaican charity and a New York–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
