Boston J.U.M.P., Inc, Jamaica United Mission for Progress is a nonprofit organization located in Boston, MA. JUMP is best described as an organization focused on improving the lives of people in our community through out the greater Boston area and the rural areas of Jamaica.  JUMP's purpose is to supply and furnish schools in the rural areas of Jamaica  with books, computers and stationery, and serve as a resource center for  families in the greater Boston area. Jamaica's long history of social and economic turmoil has left the country in a vulnerable state.  The schools in rural areas lack sufficient funds and the basic supplies and text books necessary for teaching and learning. Many of the children's parents cannot afford to pay for school uniforms, fees and transportation to and from school. Additionally, the social and economic problems that have plagued the island have caused Jamaicans to seek opportunities in Canada, England and the United States.  One of the challenges these new residents face is adapting to a new culture and life. JUMP will address this, as they will need direction and help to quickly acclimate to their new surroundings. JUMP will respond to that need by serving as a centralized resource center for them. JUMP will collaborate with law firms, educational institutions and businesses to provide guidance to  families in the greater Boston area.

 

Increased access to healthcare and medical services and also the vast need of the entire island of Jamaica in the fields of Economic, Social and Educational development.
