OUR MISSION
The Rockhouse Foundation transforms the places where Jamaica’s children learn and supports the great people who teach them. Since 2004 the foundation has invested over US$5 million building, expanding and renovating seven Negril area public schools and the Negril Community Library. All administrative and marketing costs of the foundation are underwritten by Rockhouse Hotel, Skylark Negril Beach Resort, Miss Lily’s and their owners, so all donations go directly to the projects and programs.
Through all these projects the Rockhouse Foundation directly impacts the lives of thousands of young people and their families in western Jamaica.
