Twin Palms Foundation
Twin Palms Foundation was established in response to escalating climate disasters across Jamaica and the increasing number of families left without safe shelter. As storms intensify, vulnerable households face the greatest risks: children sleeping in exposed structures, elders struggling without support, disabled individuals unable to relocate, and single mothers rebuilding from nothing.

Helping Others
Our Mission
Every family deserves safety. Every child deserves a secure place to sleep. Twin Palms Foundation exists to rebuild homes for households who would otherwise fall through the cracks — families who lost everything during storms who are living in classrooms without water or sanitation, and who face systemic barriers to recovery. We partner directly with communities across Westmoreland and beyond, mobilising local builder volunteers and emergency responders to deliver timely support grounded in dignity and community empowerment.
Adopt a Family
Many families we serve have endured months without a safe shelter. Some sleep on classroom floors. Others live beneath tarps that collapse during rainfall. The Adopt a Family program provides full rebuilds for the most vulnerable households identified through community assessments.
Three ways to give
Volunteer Vacation Build Day
Volunteers join our trained teams to rebuild homes side by side with community members, lending hands-on support and shared effort. These build days provide emotional solidarity for families, strengthen neighborhood bonds, and produce tangible progress on critical repairs.
Emergency Response
When Hurricane Melissa struck, thousands were displaced. Entire communities went days without clean water or safe structures. Our emergency teams mobilise within hour,s delivering tar,ps hygiene kit,s generators and essential supplies across parishes.

Emergency Response: Hurricane Melissa
When Hurricane Melissa devastated Jamaica, over thirteen thousand people were left vulnerable. Families sheltered in abandoned classrooms with no running water. Children slept on cold floors. Mothers rationed food. And the elders waited for support that never arrived. Twin Palms Foundation mobilised immediately with a community-based response model drawn from global humanitarian frameworks.
