About Midlands Jamaica Aid
The main aim of Midlands Jamaica Aid is to enable recycled computers and equipment to be sent from the UK to the Caribbean Islands to enhance education and health across the West Indies.
This exciting initiative to help underprivileged children in Jamaica and the Caribbean with their education was started through the foresight of Michael Dockery, a former pupil of a local school in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica.
Since then ideas and exchanges have enabled Midlands Jamaica Aid (MJA) to become a reality and charitable status achieved through the charity commission in February 2008
Aims and Objectives
To advance the education of pupils in schools and colleges in the West Indies
To relive sickness and financial hardship and to preserve the good health of people living in the West Indies by providing or assisting in the provision of equipment or assistance.
