Welcome!

The American Friends of Jamaica welcome you and invite you to learn about us and the organizations to whom we provide grants. Our organization is built on the principles of service and philanthropy. By partnering with us, you have the direct ability to give an education to those without, to provide medical care for young
mothers and their children, and to offer shelter to homeless senior citizens, to name a few of the activities we support. The people we assist are not seeking a handout; rather, they need a helping hand in exercising their sense of independence and self-reliance.

There is tremendous need and the impact of these organizations with limited resources, is simply inspiring. With Jamaica’s development challenges comes leaders with innovative solutions to advance progress in education, healthcare and economic development. Thanks to you, and donors like you, we are able to support these organizations and ultimately change the lives of many deserving Jamaicans. 2008 Grantees
