Cornerstone Collaborative
An Innovative
Socio-Economic Community Ecosystem
Eliminating Poverty & Violence
through Networked Community Development
We believe in ending poverty in Jamaica.
All donations to Cornerstone Collaborative Jamaica go toward achieving this goal.
For Jamaican Farmers
Cornerstone seeks to measurably improve the ability of rural farmers in St. Ann, Jamaica to access water for year-round and sustainable agriculture for food production.

Digital Equity
The Jamaican Digital Equity (Techquity) Initiative aims to make technology accessible to young adults in the Caribbean who otherwise wouldn’t have access. The short-term objective is to remotely teach coding, website development, app creation, game design, and to foster a welcoming environment for motivated young people. The long-term goal is to create opportunities for expanded learning, higher education, and employment, and to disrupt generational poverty. The platform and curriculum is provided through a volunteer-led program that is free to learners ages 18-26.

Support for Basic Needs
Cornerstone Collaborative Jamaica aims to have the financial ability to provide basic needs support when and where needed to support the community, in addition to its other initiatives; Watering Farms Initiative, and the Jamaican Tech Initiative. Currently, Cornerstone Collaborative Jamaica works with HeavenSent Foundation, community leaders, government officials, and church leadership, to identify those who are most in need of support. Once candidates have been identified, Cornerstone Collaborative Jamaica secures funds and promotes awareness by creating crowdfunding campaigns. Once the campaigns have been funded Cornerstone Collaborative ensures the successful delivery of funds, goods, or services.
