See your personal donations transform a village! As the birthplace of Global Volunteers' service programs, Jamaica's fabled Blue Mountain villages have welcomed us for nearly three decades.

The Blue Mountains are spectacular, verdant and beautiful. They are surrounded by flowering trees and rushing streams. The Jamaican way is easy and fun-loving, a visitor can expect to become swept up in the natural rhythm of work and lively conversation but that is not the whole story. Hurricanes and tropical storms have destroyed a great deal of the Blue Mountains' infrastructure over the years. Our teams have worked on long-term development projects that help to stabilize this impoverished community.

Global Volunteers has worked with local people on many projects such as: building footbridges, painting classrooms and community centers, and occasionally providing outreach to home-bound seniors. We need you to help us continue their vision of self-reliance.

Please work with us to put your mark on the world through a generous donation that will help them to continue to build their infrastructure and achieve the self-reliance they seek. We need you to help us serve this economically poor, isolated area. We work with resilient villagers who'll captivate you with their optimistic outlook and surprising resourcefulness.

We have worked with Blue Mountain community leaders since 1984 to provide volunteer assistance on labor projects to improve community and educational facilities, and by supporting efforts to eradicate disease and hunger.

We help deliver essential services to local people in a number of ways:

·        improving classrooms and school recreation areas

·        repairing community infrastructure and roads

·        assisting with public health outreach

·        demonstrating effective hand washing

·        promoting girls' education

By contributing to the Jamaica Community Infrastructure Fund you will help secure the future of this developing community and its youngest, most vulnerable citizens.
