Healing Little Hearts in Jamaica

Gift of Life International has partnered with Chain of Hope UK in Jamaica since 2011. Within the coming year, this program will reach a point of sustainability and will be overseen by Chain of Hope Jamaica as Jamaican hearts continue to be healed.

This facility was built and equipped in a collaborative effort between like-minded partners, The Digicel Foundation, Rotary partners, BHC administration and the Jamaican government.
