Immediate Needs

As Easter approaches, a season of hope, renewal & resurrection, we are reminded once again of the powerful truth at the heart of our Christian faith: light breaks through even the deepest darkness.

Around the world today, countless communities are longing for that light. Many are facing war, poverty, persecution, displacement, or the daily struggle of simply trying to survive. And yet, through our local Christian partners, hope is rising, lives are being restored, communities are finding strength & people are encountering the love of Jesus, often for the very first time.

Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica on 28 October 2025 as a Category 5 storm with sustained winds of 185 mph, a 9-13 ft storm surge and 15-30 inches of rainfall, marking the most powerful hurricane to strike the country since 1988.

During its six-hour passage across western Jamaica it caused catastrophic flooding and wind destruction resulting in extensive structural losses. Thousands of homes, major health facilities and both international airports sustained damage. Thankfully, Norman Manley International has since reopened to support relief operations.

The Crisis Deepens

As Gaza nears two full years of war, the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate. The UN warns that famine thresholds have now been breached, with over 500,000 people facing catastrophic hunger and another million in emergency conditions. Families are starving. Children are dying. And the systems needed for survival such as food, water and healthcare have collapsed.

At WorldShare, we believe God is calling us to act. As Jesus taught in the Parable of the Good Samaritan, we are to love our neighbour as ourselves. Today, our neighbours in Gaza are crying out for help.

Please would you help our ministry partner in Myanmar, Word of Hope? They desperately need your support to build a new, three-story dormitory building to safely house the girls at the orphanage. Despite the dedication of Word of Hope church and staff members, the girls’ dormitory building at the orphanage is facing critical challenges. Frequent flooding during the monsoon season has caused the structure to deteriorate over time, making the living conditions unsafe for the children. With increasing risks to their health and wellbeing, we urgently need to act to ensure that the 22 orphaned girls currently cared for, plus an additional 15 girls, have a safe place to live.
