School lunch and food insecurity program
Our primary initiative.
We provide meals and food assistance to students and families experiencing food insecurity, starting with underserved schools and communities in Jamaica. Food goes home with the child, because when a student is hungry at school the household behind that student is usually stretched too.
- $5Lunch for one day
- $25Lunch for one week
- $50Lunch for two weeks
- $100Lunch for one month
- $300Lunch for three months
- $600Lunch for six months
- $1,000Lunch for one full school year, ten months
- $1,200Lunch for one full year
Educational support
We provide books, backpacks, school supplies and educational resources to students, and we partner with schools to strengthen learning opportunities in underserved communities. A student with the right materials walks into class able to participate instead of apologize.
Graduation sponsorship program
Graduation costs money many families do not have, and children are quietly left out. We sponsor eligible students whose families cannot afford graduation expenses so they can mark the achievement with confidence. In May 2026 we sponsored graduation packages for seven students at Chatsworth Primary and Infant School, and the program continues year after year.
Emergency relief and community rebuilding
When hurricanes and other disasters hit, we move. Assistance includes food, clothing, hygiene products, household supplies, building materials and housing rehabilitation support for families working to recover.
Family empowerment and sustainable support
Relief keeps a family standing, opportunity keeps them moving. Where we can, we support practical paths to self sufficiency, including small income generating projects, essential household improvements and access to basic resources.
Early childhood education initiative
Rise Again Jamaica Incorporated is developing a future early childhood initiative to expand access to quality education for young children in underserved Jamaican communities. This program is in development and is not yet operating.
If your organization funds early learning, we would like to talk early, while the design of the program can still be shaped around what funders need to see.
