Dancehall superstar Masicka is extending support to his homeland of Jamaica following the devastating impact of Hurricane Melissa, which struck the island last Tuesday.

Through his charitable arm, the MADE Foundation, Masicka has launched Phase 1 of a major relief initiative aimed at assisting communities most affected by the storm. After consulting with representatives from the office of MP Floyd Green, Masicka and his team were briefed on the most urgent needs on the ground and will begin delivering support to St. Elizabeth, one of the hardest-hit parishes. In this first phase of relief, the MADE Foundation will provide food supplies, building materials, and steel and cement to aid reconstruction efforts.

As part of their longstanding relationship, Red Stripe has also extended its support to the MADE Foundation’s relief mission, helping bring aid and hope to affected communities. Longtime friend and producer Mario Dunwell has likewise pledged his support, joining efforts to help rebuild homes and restore hope for families across the region

“Jamaica is home, and Out of Many, We Are One,” said Masicka. “Through the MADE Foundation, we’re committed to helping rebuild communities and stand united as a people during this time of need.”

Masicka joins a growing list of dancehall artists and public figures lending a helping hand to support recovery efforts in western Jamaica, where the western coast was devastated by Hurricane Melissa, a catastrophic Category 5 storm and one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record. Melissa made landfall near New Hope with winds reaching 185 mph (295 kph), leaving widespread destruction.
