About us

Faith in Action. Empowering Lives. Transforming Communities.

Unitas of Jamaica is a faith-inspired, mission-driven organization committed to empowering individuals and strengthening communities across Jamaica.

Founded in 1980 through the vision of church and community leaders, Unitas was built on a simple but powerful belief: lasting transformation begins with unity, compassion, and service.

For over four decades, we have worked at the intersection of education, community development, and opportunity creation—partnering with churches, schools, and civic organizations to uplift those who need it most, especially children, youth, families, and the elderly.

Through initiatives such as scholarships, skills training, and community outreach, we help individuals unlock their potential, build resilience, and pursue a brighter future.

Grounded in faith and guided by purpose, our work goes beyond immediate support—we are committed to creating sustainable impact that strengthens communities for generations to come.

UPDATES FYI
1. UNITAS facilitated Anderson’s Publishing Ltd located in New York to deliver one 40ft container of relief and reconstruction supplies for people affected by Hurricane Melissa. Teams of volunteers from PEC and UNITAS helped with the unpacking, sorting and distrubution.
2. UNITAS in partnership with Canada Fund for Local Initiates (CFLI) will launch a project called Voices for Peace under the theme: Finding Peace After Your Storm.
This project will be a pilot carried out in Christiana schools, churches and communities.
3. Mellissa demolished the GreenHouse farm. We have to start all over again.
4. We continue to make available UNITAS status of ‘Good Standing’ to import donations for several recipients. This will save a lot through exemption from GCT and easier passage through customs.
5. Keep UNITAS and the work we do in your prayers.Selah.
