Ignite Jamaica Fund impacts communities throughout Jamaica and the Jamaican Diaspora. Jamaicans are around the world and we are dedicated to supporting access to educational opportunities for all children and youth.
2026 IMPACT INITIATIVES
In the wake of the Hurricane Melissa in October, children in St. Elizabeth Parish, Jamaica are still waiting for a safe place to learn. Classrooms were damaged, routines disrupted, and an entire school community was left in need of support.
All proceeds from the Hurricane Melissa Game Night held on January 31, 2026 went directly to the repairing, rebuilding, and reopening of Crawford Infant & Primary School, helping children return to classrooms that are safe, stable, and ready for learning.
