Happy New Year 2025: Celebrating 10 Years of Supporting Children's Education

The background is filled with fireworks in various shades of purple, pink, and gold, with "2025" written in large, bold white text at the bottom.

Happy New Year! As we step into 2025, we’re filled with excitement and renewed energy to continue our mission of transforming children's education in Jamaica and the USA. This year marks a powerful moment—our 10-year anniversary of breaking barriers to learning and empowering underprivileged students to dream bigger and achieve more.


This milestone is not just a reflection of the past but a gateway to what lies ahead. 2025 promises to be a year filled with new initiatives, impactful events, and even greater opportunities for YOU to get involved and make a difference.




A Legacy of Impact

Over the last decade, For One Child Foundation has grown from a heartfelt idea into a powerful force for educational equity. Our core programs—One Chair 4 One Child, One Laptop 4 One Child, One Scholarship 4 One Child, and our Books and Backpack Drive—have collectively transformed the educational experiences of thousands of children across Jamaica and the USA​.


But the work is far from over. As we celebrate our journey, we remain committed to ensuring that every child, regardless of background, has access to the resources they need to succeed in school and beyond.



Exciting Plans for 2025

This year, we’re taking our mission to the next level with a dynamic lineup of programs and events aimed at expanding our reach and deepening our impact. Here’s a glimpse of what’s ahead:


🌟 Bingo Night Fundraiser: Join us for a fun-filled evening where the community comes together to support our educational programs. Your participation will directly fund scholarships and educational materials.


🎨 SATE Program (Science, Art, Technology, and Entrepreneurship): We're launching a groundbreaking initiative that merges creativity with innovation, empowering students to explore their potential across multiple disciplines.


🎒 Books and Backpack Drive: Continuing our tradition, we’ll ensure thousands of children start the school year with the supplies they need to thrive.


🎓 Scholarship Expansion: This year, we aim to double the number of scholarships awarded, opening doors for even more young scholars to access quality education.


Why Your Support Matters More Than Ever
