Send a Child to School
Because of the extreme poverty in the community where we live and work, many parents get caught in a decision between sending their child to school, and buying food for dinner.
Why do Jamaican students need money for school?

What you get when you sponsor a student
We collect grade reports every semester which are forwarded to you so that you may track your student’s progress. We also request that the student write to you twice a year and enclose a photograph. You can be involved in the community of Harmons by providing hope to its children and families in the midst of mass unemployment and widespread illiteracy. Won By One To Jamaica does not take out any overhead expenses from your gift, and your entire gift is tax-deductible.
What the student receives from your support
We know students in all age brackets who are in need of financial aid for their education. The costs are as follows:
College: $150 per month
High School: $100 per month
Elementary School: $40 per month
Preschool: $25 per month
These fees help equip the student with the basic and minimum requirements for attending public school in
How to sponsor a student
Just contact us! We’d be glad to connect you with a student in need of your help. Your support can be mailed to Won By One To Jamaica at 296 Treasure
Or send us an email to info@wonbyonetojamaica.com
How we determine who’s eligible for sponsorship
Students must maintain a C+ average, and be a student in good standing at their school. We collect grade reports at the end of every semester. Furthermore, families are evaluated so that only those with the greatest financial need are eligible.
Success story!
