My Nonprofit Reviews

This non profit has been very active in helping the residents of this community for many years. It has provided food, medical care, water and school supplies for the children. It was especially active following the recent storms. Without this organization, many would be suffering.

I have traveled to this area Jamaica many times over the past 30 years. The poverty and needs of the people is striking. Yet the people are warm, welcoming and so hard working. I have had the pleasure of staying at the villa which is the basis for this charity. It is lovely. Well maintained, spacious and sitting in the heart of the community, it allows not only a relaxing vacation but a unique experience in which to really get to know the local residents and experience the true flavor of the area.
The residents are sorely in need of help. They struggle daily to provide food for their families and an education for their children. Medical care is expensive and difficult to access. The residents have to show initiative and creativity just to survive, and they do. There are no real supports for the people. Since this area is so dependent on tourism and tourism has fallen in recent years, the circumstances of the people has worsened.
The director has already devoted many years and resources to help some of the families in this community. This non-profit will help to provide supports for the development of sustainable projects to improve the lives of the residents: it will help to give money for the (not free) educational needs of the children - books, supplies, uniforms, tuition; allow access to much needed health care so people don't die of conditions which can be easily treated and make it possible to improve the infrastructure of an area which struggles with not having the most basic services like adequate water and roads.
This is a potentially wonderful way to help people directly - either through a monetary contribution or a visit to this lovely, enchanting villa.

Anything which would enable projects to begin and succeed would truly be enormously helpful for the survival of the people.
The director's personal involvement in this community has been consistent. The ideas for furthering development are strong and reasonable.
Contributions to this organization would make such a difference in the lives of so many and would bring hope to those for whom hope is sometimes a challenge.
