Jamaica Housing for the Poor Program

JPAP Emergency Projects in Partnership with GO Ministries 


The poverty rate in Jamaica stands at 16.5%, having increased in the past two years. The result is that a larger proportion of the population now falls below the poverty line and inequality has risen, in many instances heightening vulnerabilities of the most-at-risk populations, including women, children & young people.

Jamaicans Inspired alongside on the ground partners GO Ministries have taken up the task to rebuild one home in every parish every quarter. This project is working in conjunction with JPAP and is focused on:

  • Sustainable Development
  • Alleviation from Poverty
  • Humanitarian Aid
  • Capacity Growth
  • Employment

So far we have fundraised and built 5 pop up homes for severly impoverished families. The most recent build was for a family who suffered the lost of a husband and father due to murder. The deceased man was the sole provider to his wife and the 7 children that lived in a unaceptable shack. 

                                                            

Jamaicans Inspired UK fundraised for this project and rebuilt a house for the family. To gt involved in this project for 2019/20 please contact us on exec@jamaicans-inspired.com



The Showcase of Excellence

The Showcase of Excellence is a celebration of the accomplishment of many Jamaican Future Leaders from a wide range of professions. The High Profile event normally held in the heart of Financial London helps to reverse the negative stereotypes of our young Jamaicans and assists to strengthen the promotion of Jamaica and Jamaicans positively within the UK.  

The evenings are fun, entertaining, exciting and very inspirational with a variety of presentations and entertainment from Jamaican Young leaders living within the UK.
