Make a difference, from wherever you are!

We are Jalawelo. We work together as talented, compassionate, and forward-thinking Jamaicans and friends of Jamaica to design and implement community-based programs. Whether you are located in Jamaica, the US, or anywhere around the world, there is an opportunity to work with us. The projects run by Jalawelo are not only diverse, but also truly impactful.
