In a world defined by diversity, the Jamaicans Abroad Helping Jamaicans at Home (JAHJAH) Foundation stands out as a beacon of hope, commitment, and unwavering dedication. Established in 2007 in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, just east of the community locally known as Little Caribbean and officially registered as a nonprofit in 2011, this remarkable organization has been on a mission to uplift Jamaica through the vision of its founder, Dr. Trevor Dixon. An accomplished medical physician who earned his degree at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Dr. Dixon, came to Flatbush at the young age of nine but has never forgotten his home Island of Jamaica.  The Foundation is driven by a powerful mission - to engage the Jamaican Diaspora and friends of Jamaica worldwide in the development of the nation. Their philanthropic efforts are concentrated in three core areas: health, social and human services, and education. Through strategic partnerships with Jamaica's public hospitals, schools, and communities, the foundation has been a driving force of positive change.

The JAHJAH Foundation tirelessly carries out its mission year after year, making a profound impact on the lives of countless Jamaicans. The foundation conducts annual mission trips to Jamaica, enlisting the help of 25 overseas volunteers and local individuals who generously contribute their time and skills. Their projects are wide-ranging, including: empowering healthcare, building infrastructure, providing medical equipment, promoting wellness, and supplying vital resources!

The Foundation is more than an organization; it's a catalyst for positive change. Through their unwavering commitment and tireless efforts, they empower partners and supporters to make a lasting difference in the lives of Jamaican citizens. Their medical mission teams return home not only knowing they've given, but also feeling that they've received immeasurable rewards in return.

One of the most recent and significant milestones in the JAHJAH Foundation's journey is a donation made possible in part by Broadway Stages. This partnership enabled the foundation to acquire and ship an ambulance to Jamaica. This ambulance will serve as a vital lifeline for communities in need, providing essential medical services and timely response to emergencies. Broadway Stages’ support to their Brooklyn neighbors exemplifies the spirit of global cooperation and solidarity, demonstrating how unity and generosity can transcend borders and make a meaningful impact on the lives of those less fortunate.

The JAHJAH Foundation is a shining example of how a dedicated group of individuals can come together to effect positive change in the world. With their focus on health, social services, and education, they are actively building a brighter future for Jamaica. The partnership between JAHJAH and Broadway Stages serves as a testament to their shared commitment to local Brooklyn communities and the power of collaboration in making a difference. As they continue to uplift and empower areas in Jamaica, the JAHJAH Foundation inspires us all to look beyond borders and offer a helping hand to those in need.
