Who We Serve:

Edmonton youth ages 15–24 who are seeking direction, skills, and opportunity—particularly those facing barriers to traditional education or employment.

We partner with Jamaican communities to design, build, and enhance educational facilities that inspire learning and unlock potential. Following the devastation of Hurricane Melissa, we’re actively supporting recovery and rebuilding efforts to restore and strengthen school infrastructure.

Project Focus:

• Hurricane recovery and structural rebuilding
• Libraries that open worlds of knowledge
• Science and technology labs for future innovators
• Sports facilities promoting health and teamwork
• Agricultural learning centers connecting students to sustainable practices
• Gymnasiums fostering physical development and community gathering
• Recycling Initiatives: Implementing recycling programs, waste-management education, and community partnerships to reduce pollution and encourage reuse.
• Modern classrooms equipped for 21st-century learning

Our Approach:

Collaborative design with local communities, sustainable construction practices, skills transfer to local builders, hurricane-resilient building standards, and long-term maintenance planning.

Impact:

Creating educational environments where Jamaican students can dream bigger, learn deeper, and achieve more—even in the face of natural disasters.
