Annual Operation Backpack Drive

The Operation Backpack Drive is a charitable initiative where people donate to provide backpacks and school supplies to needy Jamaican children. Since the backpack project was launched in 2010, we have distributed over 5,000 backpacks to the children in Jamaica. This initiative seeks your help as we continue to make positive contributions to the educational development of the most vulnerable members of our communities in Jamaica, our children. Many children in Jamaica are not participating in the educational process because they lack the necessary resources to attend school, including basic school supplies.

We request financial support and in-kind donations to meet our annual targeted goal to ensure children in Jamaica will start the calendar school year off right; Backpacks and school supplies will be distributed directly to children in Jamaica. Designated locations are selection upon request from schools and communities.

The Benbow Street Community, Kingston

Our organization served over 150 children from the Benbow Street Community on Thursday, August 14, 2014. There was a need to serve the community which is war-prone and where there is a single-mother household. Many of these children attend schools in and around the community of Admiral Town, Jones Town and Arnett Gardens. There is always a need to aid the children in Jamaica, especially those from the lower echelon of the society. You can make a difference!
