What We've Done So Far
Removing Barriers. Creating Access. Changing Outcomes.
At BMP Momentum, we measure
impact by one primary unit: children served.
Our mission is simple but strategic: remove the barriers that prevent rural Jamaican students from accessing education, and track the results with clarity and accountability.
School Transportation
Safe, Reliable Access to Education
Before BMP’s transportation program, many students walked up to two hours each way to reach school. Weather, distance, and safety risks led to chronic absenteeism.
-
100% of Shirley Castle students now have access to school transportation
-
Attendance remains consistently above 90%
-
Approximately 60% of students would be unable to attend school without bus access
-
Remaining students reduce commute time by 35 to 45 minutes daily
Meals & Nutrition
Fueling Focus and Academic Performance
Food insecurity is one of the most common barriers to learning in rural Jamaica. For many students, school meals are their most reliable source of daily nutrition.
-
Now 100% of students receive breakfast and lunch at school
-
Over 50% rely on school meals as their primary nutrition source
-
Students are now able to focus consistently throughout the school day
Medical Clinics & Preventative Care
Closing the Healthcare Gap
Rural communities in the Blue Mountains have limited access to specialized medical services. Many families delay care due to distance or cost.
-
Now every Shirley Castle student receives a pediatric evaluation
-
150 to 250 additional community members are served each year
-
Volunteer physicians provide care across multiple specialties
-
Preventative education and follow up resources are also distributed
School Supplies & Educational Resources
Equipping Students for Success
In Jamaica, public education does not eliminate all school related costs. Families are responsible for uniforms, books, and classroom supplies.
-
Students begin the school year prepared and confident
-
Classrooms are equipped with supplemental learning materials
-
Educational resources support both academic and creative development
Supplemental & Infrastructure Initiatives
Strengthening the School Environment
-
Campus improvements and restoration projects
-
Kitchen and facility upgrades
-
Classroom enhancement initiatives
-
Emergency hurricane relief and rebuilding efforts
-
Community strengthening programs
COVID 19 Relief & Community Support
During the COVID 19 pandemic, rural communities in Jamaica faced heightened economic strain and food insecurity.
-
Supporting families with essential supplies
-
Assisting the school in maintaining stability during disruptions
-
Helping bridge gaps caused by economic shutdowns
Hurricane Relief & Crisis Response
When Hurricane Melissa devastated parts of Jamaica, BMP donors mobilized quickly.
-
Thousands of families were impacted across the island
-
BMP raised nearly $15,000 to support immediate relief
-
Resources were directed toward food, rebuilding, and stabilization
