OUR MISSION

The Rose Ann Reid Foundation in association with partners across Antigua, Canada, Jamaica and the United States of America, aims to create an environment where children will be able to excel in their educational pursuits as well as have the resources they’ll need at home and within their communities to succeed in life. These children and their families will be empowered to thrive and achieve stability and success in all their endeavors.

This foundation was created in the loving memory of Ms. Rose Ann Reid, affectionately known as Miss Rosie, Mama, Mama Rosie, Grandma Rosie, Aunt Rosie, and Sister Reid by her church family. She was the biological mother of nine children (eight are alumni of Pratville Primary and Infant School) but she adopted and fostered countless others. She had strong faith in God and trusted in Him to provide for her children and the many she housed and fed in the community.

ESSAY COMPETITION

The Rose Ann Reid Essay Competition commenced January 18, 2021, with grades 5 and 6 at Pratville Primary and Infant School. We understood that the students needed an outlet to express themselves while engaging their writing skills in a non-traditional environment. This competition encourages students to challenge themselves and explore different writing styles to ultimately strengthen their writing skills.

Why:

Pratville Primary and Infant School is in the small town of Pratville in Manchester, Jamaica. The current physical state of the school is deplorable. Mold, termites, rust, and hazardous decay are what the students must endure daily. Our vision is to build the students a new school and equip them with the tools they’ll need to thrive in their current environment which will allow them the opportunity to succeed throughout their lives. This walk will assist us in achieving our goal. We need your help to continue making a difference!
