Shop For Good: Central High School Greenhouse

About Shop For Good Programme:

We are proud of our 'Shop for Good,' program which embodies our commitment to making a meaningful difference in the world.

Through this initiative, we donate 1% of all purchases made on hardwareandlumber.com to Food For The Poor, which is devoted to transformative charity work.

Every time you shop with us, you not only acquire quality products but also contribute to a greater cause, helping those in need and creating a positive impact on communities around the world."

Together, with Food For The Poor we embarked on a greenhouse project that will leave a lasting imprint on Central High in May Pen, Clarendon, Jamaica.
Central High School Greenhouse Background:

Central High School currently enrols 2,183 students, with 894 benefiting from the government's Programme of Advancement through Health & Education (PATH). PATH aims to alleviate poverty and enhance the welfare of our population by providing crucial subsidies, primarily for necessities like food.

However, the stringent nutritional standards set by the Jamaican government require an additional JA$350.00 per student, which poses a challenge for many. Some deserving students are disqualified due to the rigorous PATH application process, leaving them without access to balanced meals.

To address this issue and improve the school’s educational and economic standards, with funding from H&L's Shop For Good Programme, Food For The Poor has initiated the Central High School Greenhouse Project. The project features:

• A 1,500 sq. ft. greenhouse with UV-treated roof, shade mesh sides, galvanized structure, irrigation, and tank.
• Provision of essential agricultural resources.
• Collaborations with Jamaica 4-H Clubs, RADA, and others to provide comprehensive training to teachers and students in various agricultural aspects.
