Jamaica Red Cross, Spanish Town, Jamaica

Jamaica Red Cross has helped those most vulnerable since 1948. We work with disaster response, disaster preparedness, first aid, search and rescue, health services, HIV/AIDS, social welfare, environmental problems, information/dissemination and youth.

By mobilizing our thousands of volunteers, we aim at improving the lives of those who need it the most.

Jamaica Red Cross is a part of the International Movement of Red Cross/Red Crescent Societies.

The mission of the Red Cross Movement is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity. We work to prevent and alleviate human suffering and to protect human life and dignity.

The core areas that define the work of all Red Cross Societies, including Jamaica Red Cross, are disaster preparedness and response; health and care in the communities; and promotion of fundamental principles and humanitarian values. There is a strong focus on youth development.
