Jamaica Basic Schools Foundation
This Year we are supporting the Jamaica Basic Schools Foundation:
“To assist in the early development of early childhood education in Jamaica by improving the quality of pre-school education and learning environment.”
Our mission
We realise that the journey is bigger than us. So every Hill & Gully purchase is not only a piece of style, it’s a step toward making a difference.
Here's why we donate
In Jamaica, the Schools within the Basic School sectors suffer from severe shortage of adequate learning material and resources which are crucial for early childhood development.
Resources that are taken for granted in developed countries are not readily available to those needy schools. Some of the schools, in particular those in the more rural areas have to function under conditions of poor ventilation and lighting, inadequate furniture, poor kitchen and toilet facilities and deteriorating buildings.
Such conditions are not conducive to providing an environment with supports the learning process. Resources that are taken for granted in developed countries are not readily available to those needy schools.
