Since 2006, we’ve been on a mission to help those with less, gain access to more.
We are empowering communities worldwide. As part of our mission, we’ve recently partnered with Farm Up Jamaica, a not-for-profit organisation based in New York and Jamaica.
Farm Up Jamaica's work helps communities across the island grow sustainable food which helps take families out of poverty.
The residual effect of more food production reduces food imports to Jamaica, increases exports and creates jobs and entrepreneurship. Farm Up’s goal is to help people living in Jamaica achieve their basic human right to make a decent living. Farm Up Jamaica focuses on the long-term impact of regenerative agriculture on the economy and its people. We’re committed to finding and working with organisations who support the long-term growth and development of our top markets.
We welcome the opportunity to work alongside Farm Up to drive sustainable growth in Jamaica. Jamaicans living abroad are sending billions, annually, to their loved ones. Whilst this is often necessary, we’re working closely with Farm Up Jamaica to identify ways to send longer term support back to their communities.
As such, we’re thrilled to announce a donation to Farm Up Jamaica to kick start our long-term partnership, the funds will be used to train the younger Jamaicans (GenZ) in the newest sustainable agriculture techniques, rebuild defunct farming communities helping them grow themselves out of poverty and create a new source of local sustainable food to feed the nation.
CEO and founder, Neil Curtis has said: “Ding and Farm Up Jamaica are united in their efforts to support communities in Jamaica. Through the funding from Ding we’ll be able to help rebuild the backbone of Jamaica, which is agriculture!
We’re aligned on our mission of driving long term impact. We look forward to creating micro-economies island-wide, which will have macro effects for the entire country.”
