“Inspiring and enriching children's lives to help them reach their full potential.”

Why we are here

Strong children build stronger communities.

McLymont's Helping Hands Children's Foundation supports organisations and initiatives serving children in Jamaica. We believe meaningful change happens when communities work together and every child is given the care, encouragement and opportunity to thrive.

Our work has included support for children's institutions, schools, paediatric care, creative programmes, career empowerment workshops and family-centred community events.

Creating pathways through career empowerment, mentorship and practical community workshops.

A community effort

Every contribution can become a turning point.

A donated school supply, a professional workshop, an event sponsor or a few hours of volunteer time can open a door for a child. We make it easier for caring people and organisations to help where support is needed.
