Foundation’s core values
With the Respect Foundation, it is the intention that a global philanthropic platform is being born – first in Jamaica, and then to be expanded internationally – in keeping with the Foundation’s core values:
-
Respect – for each other as People – we are all human and deserve kindness and dignity.
-
Respect – for our Planet – we must be conscious for future generations.
-
Respect – for Nature – a tremendous resource that can help us all find health and happiness.
Beginning with immediate initial deployment plans in two rural communities in Jamaica, the Respect Foundation intends to help by initially providing: 1) access to technology that will enable illiterate farmers to prove their identity and obtain banking so they can build savings, 2) vocational training (including agtech /
sustainable farming) for adult farmers to improve farming yields, and; 3) internet, supporting educational infrastructure, and tutoring programs for school age children who have untrained teachers and inadequate facilities.
