The Stone
Foundation (TSF)
was established to help disadvantaged youth and poor
communities on the island of Jamaica. We began this endeavor
because Jamaica is very unique in that its population is
uncharacteristically young with a median age of 26, and approximately 48.9% of those
persons living under the poverty line are children under the age of 18. These very unique
demographics (coupled with limited access to employment, training and social services)
cast a long shadow on Jamaica's future. Jamaica's future is tied to the support,
education and training of its youth. Our purpose is to empower today's Jamaican youth
through our collective expertise in the fields of medicine, education, agriculture,
construction and technology. |
