Ackee Seed Foundation Research & Partnerships Trip to Jamaica
Listening first. Acting with intention.
Building long-term impact through research, and collaboration
As immediate relief efforts continue, Ackee Seed Foundation is entering a phase focused on listening, learning, and strategic planning. We are currently preparing for a self-funded, research-focused trip to Jamaica, involving a small team of two to three people.
Purpose of the Trip
This visit is not centered on implementation, but on:
Strengthening relationships with local communities
Identifying gaps in existing support
Understanding needs through direct conversation rather than assumption
One of our key focus areas includes ongoing dialogue with a primary school in Daniel Town, Trelawny, assessing post-hurricane repair needs and broader community priorities, including food security.
What Comes Next
Following the trip, we will:
Regroup and analyze findings
Share insights with partners and supporters
Develop a long-term, community-informed action plan
GoFundMe contributions continue to support immediate relief, while we explore partnerships to help sustain this research and planning phase.
Invitation
If you are an organization, institution, or individual interested in:
Partnership development
Resource-sharing
Strategic collaboration
This phase is about doing the work slowly, responsibly, and in relationship, ensuring that future initiatives are grounded in care and accountability.
We welcome you to reach out.
