Project 01 · Jamaica
United People of God is a gathering place for people who solve real problems together. We start at home in Jamaica: turning one month of service into year-round care for the children we love.
Or join the movementThe Jamaica story
Since Independence in 1962, our small island has taught the world to listen and to run. But while others make Jamaica their paradise, some of Jamaica's own children are not equipped to succeed.
Every year our team spends one month on the ground, serving an average of 110 children. When the plane leaves, the support largely leaves with it.
United People of God exists to close that gap: to empower these children all year round so they can elevate Jamaica.

Monthly donors turn the grey into gold: local tutors, meals, school supplies and mentoring that continue after the team flies home.
What Happens Next
Our month on the ground is only the beginning. Your gifts fund support for the children we serve, an average of 110 every year, all year round, through local tutors, mentors, carers and clinics.
The basics every child needs to show up ready to learn.
Consistent adults who keep progress going between trips.
Care for growing bodies and minds, all year.

Give back home
Whether you left Jamaica last year or your grandparents did, home is still home. From Brixton to Brooklyn to Brampton, the diaspora can give these children something one month never could: consistency.
A small monthly gift, in pounds, dollars or Canadian dollars, keeps tutors and meals going all year.
Sponsor-a-child style giving: follow one child's progress with updates from the ground. programme in design
Rally your family, church or alumni association around a shared goal and watch it fill up together.
The movement
United People of God brings people together around one question: what can we fix, if we show up together? Jamaica is our first project. It won't be our last.
Find people who care about the same problem: neighbours, congregations, professionals, the diaspora.
Start with the community itself. Understand the need before deciding the answer.
Show up in person, bring skills, fund what works, and do it with local partners.
Keep it going between visits, and report back openly on every result.

Each year we bring a team to serve alongside Jamaican communities, and we need more hands on the ground. Teachers, nurses, builders, coaches, creatives and simply willing hands are all welcome.

Donate
Monthly gifts are the heartbeat of year-round care. They let us plan, hire local tutors and promise children we'll still be there next month.
Questions & transparency
Trust is earned. Here's how we work. Anything else, just ask.
Email the teamInto year-round support for the children we serve in Jamaica: everyday needs (food, clothing, school supplies, feminine necessities), learning and guidance (mentorship, tutoring, homework help) and health and wellbeing (dental care, medical care, therapy), plus the annual service trip programme. We'll publish a breakdown each year in the "See what your money does" section.
Placeholder answer: state your policy here, e.g. whether volunteers fund their own travel and how trip costs are kept separate from donations for the children.
Placeholder answer: add your registered charity / non-profit status and numbers for each country you accept gifts from (e.g. US 501(c)(3), UK Gift Aid, Canadian charitable receipts) once confirmed.
Through updates from the ground, photo stories from each trip, and an annual impact report. Monthly donors and sponsors get regular news.
Yes. Start a family circle: a shared goal your group can contribute to and follow together.
Because real problems are solved by people who show up for each other. We're a community of people united by faith and purpose, and everyone who wants to help is welcome.
