If 2025 had a soundtrack, it would be layered. The hum of laptops powering on for the first time. The confident voices of young people pitching bold ideas. Laughter echoing through school halls. And the steady rhythm of a community refusing to stand still after adversity.

This year, For One Child Foundation didn’t just celebrate a milestone. We activated it.

Here’s what your support made possible in 2025.


Expanding Our Mission Across Borders


SATE Program Officially Launched in Worcester, MA

2025 marked a significant milestone with the U.S. launch of the SATE Program: Science, Art, Technology & Entrepreneurship. Designed as more than a camp, SATE became a launchpad for young people to explore hands-on science, digital creativity, technology fundamentals, and entrepreneurial thinking.

Students didn’t just learn. They created. They collaborated. They pitched. And they began to see themselves as problem-solvers, innovators, and future founders.

This launch laid the foundation for what SATE will continue to grow into in 2026 and beyond.


Summer Computer Literacy Program Launched in Portland, Jamaica

In Jamaica, we strengthened our commitment to digital access through the Summer Computer Literacy Program, equipping young people with essential technology skills needed for today’s academic and professional world.

For many students, this program marked their first structured exposure to computers, digital tools, and confidence-building tech instruction. It wasn’t just about learning software. It was about unlocking opportunity.

Removing Barriers to Education


Scholarships Awarded

Education access remained at the heart of our work in 2025. Through donor generosity, scholarships were awarded to support students continuing their academic journeys, helping to ease financial burdens and reaffirm that their dreams matter.


Laptops Distributed

We also distributed laptops to students who needed reliable tools to learn, create, and stay connected. Each laptop represented equity in action. No child should be left behind because they lack access to technology.



Still Standing With Jamaica: Hurricane Melissa Relief Continues


Our work in Jamaica did not end when the storm passed.

With the leadership of Antonette Staple, a longtime volunteer and 2025 For One OG Award Recipient, and the support of committed partners, 275 care packages were distributed across four communities in Westmoreland following Hurricane Melissa.

This relief effort is ongoing. Donations are still accepted throughout the year as we continue supporting rural and remote communities while helping families rebuild with dignity and care.



A Message From Our Executive Director: Yanique Deans


Spreading Holiday Cheer at Moore Town Primary

On December 16, 2025, the For One Child Foundation proudly partnered with Moore Town Primary School as a sponsor for a special Christmas dinner that became a moment of healing and joy.

After months of recovery following Hurricane Melissa, the school hall was transformed into a space filled with warmth, festive lights, and laughter. One young student quietly shared, “It seems like Santa Claus came early because this was what I wanted.”

That moment captured everything we stand for. Being present. Restoring joy. Showing up when it matters most.

Our Executive Director extends deep gratitude to every donor and supporter who helped make this possible. Your kindness keeps hope alive.

A Decade of Purpose, Passion, and Possibility


For One Child Foundation began with a single mission — to remove barriers to education for underserved youth.

This anniversary is not just a look back—it’s a leap forward. Every dollar raised through this celebration will directly fund our Scholarship Fund and SATE Program, ensuring even more students have access to the education and experiences they deserve.
