About Us

Christ in the Community is a Non-Profit Community Interest Company that exists to benefit the communities of Jamaica. We work in partnership with churches in the community to provide access to education for children living in extreme poverty, residing in rural, remote and urban areas in Jamaica. Our first pilot is to provide lunch and breakfast at schools which have a high record of children living in extreme poverty. This initiative will enable children to attend school every day and keep them alert during the school day.
Help us transform young lives in Jamaica, by giving them an opportunity to a primary education regardless of their socio-economic background.
