OUR PARTNERS TO DATE
Partnership is fundamental to our philosophy at UNUH
We recognize that we belong to a broader eco-system and that we must collaborate at all levels in order to build a sustainable solution. We are grateful to those individuals and organizations who have jumped on board with us to help us solve the problems that so many of our youth are facing – the lack of knowledge and skills to effectively navigate life’s challenges!

Vision:
A Jamaica where young people and other vulnerable populations are empowered to make healthy lifestyle choices in a supportive and rehabilitative environment.
Mission:
To empower vulnerable populations, including those suffering from addictive disorders, through programmes that create pathways to realising their full potential; and to support Jamaica’s national development by building the capacity of civil society organizations. Focus areas: youth development; after school literacy and numeracy programme; life and parenting skills training; violence prevention awareness and intervention; child trafficking; gender-based violence; counselling; addiction prevention and treatment (substance and gambling); capacity building for CSOs; and support programmes for persons with disabilities. The development of the UNUH app is a component of RISE’s Civil Society Boost Initiative: Phase 3 project (CSBI:3) which is funded by the European Union (EU). The inclusion of the UNUH app is a direct response to the EU’s call for increase in digitization to address the digital divide in Jamaica against the background of the slow rollout of digital infrastructure in poor, remote communities and rural areas, as well as the digital inequality among youth.
European Union
The Member States of the European Union have decided to link together their know-how, resources and destinies. Together, they have built a zone of stability, democracy and sustainable development whilst maintaining cultural diversity, tolerance and individual freedoms. The European Union is committed to sharing its achievements and its values with countries and peoples beyond its borders. The UNUH project is co-funded by the European Union under the RISE Life Management Services Civil Society Boost Initiative: Phase 3 project (CSBI:3)
