For 40 years, the United Way of Jamaica (UWJ) has been a trusted partner in national development. Established in 1985, UWJ has worked to mobilize resources, foster partnerships, and invest in community-driven solutions that transform lives. From health and education to disaster response and youth empowerment, UWJ has provided a platform for ordinary citizens, corporate partners, and community organizations to unite for the greater good.
The model is simple but powerful: every dollar raised is used to directly support projects and programmes that strengthen families, uplift communities, and build a more equitable society.
On Saturday, November 8, 2025, UWJ will host its Ruby Anniversary Gala under the theme:
“The Ruby Thread – Honouring the Hearts and Hands that Give.”
This signature event is both a celebration and a moment of reflection – spotlighting the volunteers, donors, partners, and community leaders whose generosity and commitment have sustained UWJ’s mission for 40 years.
Hear form Mr. Mark Escoffery from Fyfes Pen, St. Elizabeth and how this donation from the United Way of Jamaica through the Farmer’s Rehabilitation Fund will help transform his life and mobilize his recovery.
The Farmer’s Rehabilitation Fund is a partnership between the United Way of Jamaica and the Jamaica Agricultural Society to address the needs of farmers in the southern parishes of St. Elizabeth, Clarendon and Manchester following the devastation of Hurricane Beryl.
