About Us

Our organization is working hard to ensure a better future for our children.

The Grandma Pearl Life Center was started in 2024 to assist children and the less fortunate on the Island of Jamaica. Our goal is to assist children in developing their reading skills, so they can excel academically and achieve their full potential. 

What we are about to do is important and will make a tremendous impact on the people we are about to serve. Our hope is to develop a physical presence on the island where we will develop programs to achieve stability while we come alongside people to teach and guide them to eventual self-sufficiency.

Our Mission

To inspire children to be lifelong learners and to develop a love for the arts while improving the quality of life for families through our community outreach program.

What We Do

Education

We believe that education is a fundamental right of every child. That's why we strive to help children with literacy skills that will improve their reading skills and empower their learning. We provide complete attention to children who have difficulty reading by providing one-on-one tutoring. We offer a safe and nurturing learning environment that fosters a love for reading and instills a sense of confidence in children.
Our literacy program caters to the unique needs of each child. To help children learn at their own pace, we use comprehension strategies. As part of our education program, we also provide reading materials such as books, magazines, and newspapers to encourage children to read. Our tutors are the backbone of our program, and we take pride in the quality of education they provide. Each of our tutors is hand-picked for their passion for teaching and their ability to connect with children. With extensive experience working with children of all ages and learning levels, they know that every child has unique learning needs. We help children build the necessary foundation for success in their academic and personal lives.
We believe that every child deserves access to quality education, and our tutors are committed to making that a reality for every child who comes through our doors. With their dedication and passion, they help children overcome their educational challenges and develop the confidence and courage to excel in life.

Community

Food, shelter, and hygiene products are basic necessities essential to everyone's well-being and dignity. We understand that many families in our community struggle to meet their basic needs. That's why we're devoted to giving back to the community by providing food, toiletries, and other essentials to those in need. Our community outreach program is designed to improve the quality of life for families by providing them with the basic necessities they need to thrive. Our team of volunteers work tirelessly to collect donations from individuals and businesses in the community and distribute them to families who need them the most.
In addition to providing essential resources, we also offer support and guidance to families who are struggling. We believe that by building strong relationships with families in our community, we can help them overcome their challenges and create a brighter future for themselves and their children. Our goal is to create a community that is supportive, caring, and compassionate toward those in need. We can make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Theatre

Education should go beyond books and lectures. There are different learning styles among children, and some are more visual and creative. We have developed a unique theatre program that engages children in learning and helps them develop critical skills they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.
Our theatre program is designed to teach children critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as improve their communication and collaboration abilities.
Through plays, skits, and other interactive activities, we teach children complex concepts and make learning fun. Children are encouraged to participate actively in their learning, which helps them develop their creativity, imagination, and self-confidence.
We have a team of experienced theatre professionals who are passionate about education and love working with children. They use their expertise and creativity to create interactive theatre programs that captivate children's attention and stimulate their minds. The theatre program not only helps children learn new concepts and ideas but also allows them to develop their social and emotional skills. We aim to develop a community of assertive, sociable young people by teaching theatre skills and providing stimulating, original, high-quality programs to develop their imaginations.
