Your Support Makes a Difference

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn in a safe, nurturing environment where their unique abilities can bloom in spite of their race, ethnicity, class, or geography.

Who We Are

We are an education advancement non-profit organization based in Miami, Florida in the United States of America. Our mission is to empower the next generation of Caribbean leaders by addressing critical educational needs. We work with local governments and industries in countries throughout the Caribbean to bridge the educational gap where it is most needed. It's important to us that the local businesses be a part of the planned improvement process as much as possible so they can both benefit economically and maintain their autonomy in their community.

Our Impact

We partner with local schools and governments to develop and fund academic enrichment programs, complete school repairs and maintenance, and provide teachers and students with resources and materials.

Vere Technical High School’s Track Team & Food Pantry

Currently, we are assisting with the efforts to raise funds and various items for the Vere Technical High School in Hayes, Clarendon, Jamaica. Our aim is to create a food pantry to help battle food insecurities faced among some of the students. We are seeking funds or donated items that can help contribute to the pantry, like a deep freezer, canned foods, and non-perishable food items.

Additionally, our organization is raising funds for the Vere Tech track team. For over ten years, they have been without a title sponsor for their athletic program. This has created a heavy financial strain on the school and has resulted in the athletes being deprived of some of the basic amenities required for optimal performance.

Donated funds will go towards the purchase of:

Food items
Non-perishable- ex. corned beef, canned tuna, canned sardines, Vienna sausage, breakfast cereal, instant cornmeal porridge, instant oatmeal, granola bars, rice, pasta, evaporated milk, cereal bars, packaged crackers, juices,
A deep freezer
Running gears- vest, short tights, long tights, shoes
Jumping shoes- long jump, high jump, triple jump
Throwing shoes- javelin, discus, shot-put
