The initiative comes in response to Hurricane Melissa, which left hundreds of families, particularly single-parent–led households in St. Elizabeth, Westmoreland, St. James, Trelawny, Hanover, Manchester, and St. Ann, without coops, livestock, or their primary source of food and income.

Homes were left waterlogged, furniture destroyed, and mould spreading throughout interiors. Several families were forced out and left traumatised.
