| The World Reggae Show is dedicating this week to bringing attention to the disaster in Jamaica caused by Melissa, the strongest and most destructive hurricane to ever make landfall on the island.
Jamaica gave reggae to the world, and this is a crucial time for the world to give back. |

Below is a list of non-profit organizations that are providing humanitatian aid to the people of Jamaica and we encourage you to help in any way and to any extent that you can. Simply click or tap the logos for each organization for more information.
