One of UJAA’s fundamental missions is to:

“Promote academic excellence at all levels of schools in Jamaica and in particular to improve education in Basic and Primary schools throughout the Island.”

With this in mind, our projects are geared at improving the physical learning environment of the early childhood group, as well as providing educational supplies and materials.

Our overall program goal is to establish a learning environment that will inspire, challenge and prepare children to be achievers.
