Improving Sustainability and the Advancement of the Treasure Beach Community

Women and youth in Treasure Beach, Jamaica, have limited livelihood opportunities and face intensifying weather conditions including droughts and hurricanes that make it difficult for them to meet their families? food and income needs. The IAF supports community-led approaches to strengthen communities? resilience and diversify livelihoods.

Our grantee Treasure Beach Women?s Group (TBWG) is expanding economic opportunities for its members by implementing an arts and craft training program to improve their production skills, establishing a pottery studio, and increasing marketing through participation in craft fairs and its online presence.

This grant is part of the IAF?s Women INvesting in Growth and Security (WINGS) initiative to empower women as business and community leaders.
