The foundation's story began with Racquel Knight, who grew up in Bellevue, Jamaica, where she experienced first-hand the challenges of attending a school without adequate resources like chairs and desks. Inspired by these experiences, Racquel founded "One Chair 4 One Child," which evolved into For One Child Foundation Inc., committed to addressing educational disparities.
