2025 Year in Review
Our 2025 Year in Review captures a year shaped by resilience, partnership, and an unwavering belief in every child’s ability to learn. From classrooms and communities across Jamaica to supporters near and far, this video highlights the moments, milestones, and people who made our work possible.
You’ll see the impact of literacy in action—children finding confidence through reading, teachers gaining tools and support, and communities coming together in times of challenge and hope. This reflection is our thank you to everyone who walked with us this year and a reminder of what’s possible when we invest in children, early and together.
Watch. Reflect. And continue the journey with us.

Testimonials
Summer Fun Reading was a great experience for the students' interest and helped with their listening skills as well. We were happy to capture the moments so that we could share with your team!
Quickstep Primary SchoolJuly - 2022 
This program helped my son tremendously, as he was not an avid reader. reading was way below grade level but with the help of this program my son, who is 8-years old, is now able to read and is seeking to assist other children to read.
Parent of Lannaman's Prep SchoolJuly - 2022
The speakers were great, I enjoyed the topics and the stories. The stories brought life to the information and also gave a better understanding of how to teach boys. Well done!
MELONIE B.Nov 27, 2020
I thought the topic of the workshop was quite relevant as often as teachers we do not understand or are able to adequately reach our boys the way we would like to, thus having a forum that allows us to gain new ways and insights is beneficial
SHANTAE B.Nov 27, 2020
I find that the students who used the Graphopame a lot did very well with reading and phonics activities.
Gideon Education CentreNov 27, 2020
I encouraged the lower school cohort... to download the game... the feedback ...has been positive. In the coming year we intend to make it mandatory.
