Rockhouse Foundation
Learn MoreThe Rockhouse Foundation, a New York bases 501(c)(3), transforms the places where Jamaica's children learn and supports the great people who teach them. Miss Lily’s, together with its sister hotels in Jamaica the Rockhouse Hotel and the Skylark Negril Beach Resort (hyper link these two hotels), underwrites all of the Foundations administrative and fund raising related expenses. This means that every dollar raised goes directly to support the Foundation’s programs and projects.
Over the past fifteen years the Rockhouse Foundation has invested over US$5 million in projects improving education for the children in the Negril, Jamaica area. Since its inception, the Foundation has completely transformed and modernized six schools in addition to the complete renovation and expansion of the Negril Community Library.
The Foundation’s latest project, the Savanna-la-Mar Inclusive Infant Academy (SIIA) is a brand new school purposely built to service those with special needs in an inclusive environment. This inclusion model, mixed ability, special needs early childhood school addresses a demand that has been expanding dramatically, and for which there are no services in the western half of Jamaica.
The Rockhouse Foundation focuses its resources and energy towards improving early childhood education institutions, affirming empirical evidence that all children, but especially poor children, need a solid foundation in order to thrive academically throughout their education and, consequently, as self-determining members of society.
Through these projects the Rockhouse Foundation directly impacts the lives of thousands of young people and their families.
