Where Your Donations Are Going
The map below shows the locations of verified donation beneficiaries across Jamaica, from the western parishes most affected by Hurricane Melissa to communities island-wide.
On the Ground, Every Day
The JN Foundation's commitment extends well beyond grants — active outreach continues across Jamaica's most remote communities.
Medical Outreach Missions
Since November 2025, the JN Foundation has executed more than 20 community outreach initiatives delivering medical services to remote, rural communities — supported by CORUS International and St John Ambulance. Each mission provides access to a medical doctor and prescription drugs for pain management, asthma, and hypertension, alongside care packages of basic food items and personal care products.
Building a Stronger Jamaica from the Earliest Years
Investing in early childhood education is one of the most powerful ways to shape Jamaica's future. The recent JN Foundation–UWI Mona colloquium, grounded in the legacy of Dudley Grant, reaffirmed that strong early learning systems are essential to national development — driving better educational outcomes, social stability, and long-term economic growth.
Yet in the wake of Hurricane Melissa, many of our youngest learners have been pushed further into vulnerability, with schools damaged and resources stretched thin. Your support to the JN Foundation helps rebuild and strengthen this critical sector. Every donation helps restore learning spaces, support educators, and ensures that every child has a fair start.
Donate today and be part of building a stronger, more resilient Jamaica from the earliest years.
