CORE VALUES
-
Change led from within is change that lasts. Rose Town carries its Jamaican roots and culture with pride, and we invest in what residents are already building. By supporting resident-leaders, global support can have transformative local impact. One one coco, full basket.
-
Our efforts in Rose Town are transparently governed, thoroughly reported, and sustainably funded. We are stewards for seeds of change, which can grow beyond us and model what is possible for communities everywhere. Wi likkle but wi tallawah.
-
Every member of the Rose Town community deserves to see how they belong and what they are becoming, not what they lack. We have no political allegiance or religious distinction, and through open doors we work to support the existing talents, vision, and ambitions of our community. One hand cyan clap.
