Our Mission
What drives us forward
“Our mission is dedicated to changing the lives of the disadvantaged children of Jamaica by providing them an opportunity for a better education.”

Opportunity
From primary school to university, opening doors that transform futures.
Our History
How it started
876 Kids Foundation was formed by a group of like-minded individuals united by a single purpose: help educate the children of Jamaica. Before the organization was officially registered, we worked together to raise funding to support individual students with school expenses—tuition, meals, travel costs, uniforms, and supplies.
We also helped fund schools with various needs including school supplies, sporting equipment, computer equipment, and much more. This work went on for many years before 876 Kids Foundation became a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization in October 2025.
The Foundation continues to support both individual students and selected schools going forward into the foreseeable future.
Our Impact
Lives we've touched
Jessie Brown
Jessie is a young man who matriculated from primary school to high school in the fall of 2025. He was brought up in a single parent home where his mother was frequently absent throughout his childhood. Given his living environment, he was unofficially adopted by a Good Samaritan who now looks out for his wellbeing.
His guardian reached out to the Foundation for help. Once we got involved, we were able to get Jessie into William Knibb Memorial High School. He is on the school's track team and has shown significant improvement in his academics. The Foundation continues to support Jessie with school uniforms, extra lessons, and more throughout his educational journey.
Daniel Town Infant & Primary School
The Foundation adopted this school in Daniel Town, Trelawny. Last August we hosted a Back-to-School Fun Day on the school grounds, providing backpacks filled with school supplies, dental hygiene items, and a day of bouncy houses, snow cones, games, and music for every student.
Hurricane Melissa Relief
When Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica in late October 2025, the Foundation mobilized immediately. We collected donations of cash, food, clothing, and necessities from the public and shipped a full 40-foot container of relief supplies to Jamaica.
Falmouth All Age School
Over the past three years we helped their track team travel to Miami for the annual Miami Classic meet—securing transportation, meals, and running spikes so students could compete at their best. We also donated backpacks for the start of each school year.
Antione Mitchell
Antione is the first student we supported, starting in 9th grade at Cornwall College. Today he is in his third year of medical school at the University of the West Indies—Mona Campus, maintaining high grades and earning a place on the Dean’s List. Without the Foundation’s support, his educational journey might not have been possible.
Gemielia Bryant
Gemielia graduated from Westwood High School with Foundation support since the seventh grade. She is now a first-year student at The University of Technology in Kingston, pursuing her dream of becoming a Dentist—a dream that might have remained just that without our help.
