Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. When children are educated, they develop the skills and confidence to help lift their families out of poverty and build strong communities for generations to come.

Food For The Poor works with the Ministry of Education in the countries we serve to support the communities we work with. We build schools in communities identified by local leaders to support the infrastructure of the Ministry of Education. We partner with public schools and universities to support their work and  allow students to thrive and succeed.

• Build early childhood schools across Jamaica.

Our Community Builders help families with their most basic needs – clean water, food and health care.
