Cooreville Gardens, Jamaica

Cooreville Gardens is a residential neighbourhood of approximately 4,500 people, located in Western St. Andrew, Jamaica. The area is surrounded by several communities, including Riverton City – a low-income neighbourhood that is high risk for youth. When a call to address the issue of violence using sport for peace was put forth, we responded.

Help Us Build a Kitchen for our Youth

We believe that kids should have access to healthy meals that leave them full, content and ready for whatever challenges they may face outside their door.

Unfortunately, not many kids in high-risk communities get to experience healthy meals every day. Most, despite their young age, understand the challenges of making choices between household expenses such as school supplies, transportation costs, clothing or a healthy meal. Community kitchens are designed to address food insecurity, encourage social interaction and provide access to resources/services.

With the newly renovated kitchen in Cooreville Community Centre, we hope to promote a healthy space for community members to meet, network, gain resources, eat and have fun.
