- Having no jobs and no place to go, people have built their homes with whatever they could find in Riverton City. Riverton City is also a dump site. The people of Riverton City are among the poorest of the poor living in Jamaica. Will you help? It takes 20,000 JD ($300 US) to send a child to school for one year. This can be an enormous burden to a family of four in a developing country. Most of the children in Riverton City have to leave school between 13 and 15 years of age for lack of funds and get a job to help support their family. An investment in a childs education is one of the single best investments that can be made to help communities rise out of poverty. Research shows that every additional year spent in school raises income by 10 to 20 percent. With an education students are more likely to raise a smaller family, have healthier children, delay marriage, participate in political processes and send their own children to school. Together, these factors lead to more productive and stable communities around the world. Will you help? Become a sponsor today and give a family a chance. Will you help?
Please help us build a community computer lab for Riverton City school children. Currently there are NO computers in the school @ Riverton City. The surrounding schools charge fees to offset the cost of running the schools. At present there are no facilities that offer computer classes without charge in the city of Kingston, Jamaica.
I know that we can make a dent in global poverty when we give people the opportunity to learn and access tools and resources that can help them chart their own paths to a brighter future.

Hello bwoyrough, I will be intouch with you soon. I appreciate you reaching out to our cause. However, my brother passed away on the 10th of January and we are in the mist of this thing now. Please have patience and know that as soon as this is over I will be in touch. Thanks again.
So sad to see i would like to help out in whatever way i could if this is really true
+Timothy Black , yes Timothy it is true. I made the video myself. I've been going to Jamaica every year since 1998. I fell in love with the people there and my heart broke because of their condition. I fund my own trips. People have donated to the cause but the brunt of all my giving has come from my efforts. My friends and supporters are aware of my endeavors. I never solicit except for clothes and household items which I ship once, sometimes twice a year! Thank you for your compassion and concern! Your prayers will be greatly appreciated!
Yes Timothy it's true. I became aware of the situation when on holiday in Barbados in 1996 as a teenager. They did a documentary and it immediately gripped my heart. I felt sad that these people eat from the dump because they have no other choice. I would like to help out too.
thnx for sharing, they need some people with technology skills who can hep setup an online website and help get funding for them, Riverton is a place that helped give birth to the ROOTS Reggae genre through the hard suffering which has gone on to help so many others worldwide, now the world is accessible via internet i am sure many will help give back.... just needs a help in hand.... crowdfunding sites are the answer i think....will message u...
