World Cares Centre Partnership 2025

WCC’s Jamaica response combines healing-arts programs, disaster-response training, and medical clinics that double as community coordination hubs. Backed by the Tryall Fund and in partnership with WCC’s NCU internship program, we’re helping communities recover from Hurricane Melissa while building long-term resilience and strengthening local capacity to respond to future crises with confidence.

The team was in Hanover from December 17–21, 2025. We visited seven clinics and five schools, met with community members and treated patients, prescribed medications, cleaned and organized clinic spaces (including file rooms), and provided extra training for teachers and clinic staff.
