Mission/Impact Statement

Busy Bee Educational Enrichment, Inc. (BBEE) is a non-profit organization, 501©(3) created to increase the literacy rates of disadvantaged children in Jamaica, West Indies by offering free academic focused after-school and summer learning programs.

Priority Needs

BBEE require $7,500 to host a Summer Learning Program serving 100 students. Additionally, $700 per month is needed for transportation to bring children from surrounding communities to both the summer program and $400 per month will cover one teacher's salary.

Key Services or Activities

BBEE's educational initiatives(after-school and Summer Learning Programs) are designed to support students who are struggling academically, especially where schools have limited ability to offer interventions, resources, or specialized support. Many families face financial barriers to tutoring, and some schools lack adequate training for teachers or up-to-date learning materials. Students in rural communities often miss out on enrichment activities both in school and during summer break.

Impact Made

BBEE operates two Summer Learning Programs each July. July 2025, we served a total of 182 students (88 girls, 94 boys) over a four‑week period, all identified by local school principals as academically at risk. At Comma Pen, St. Elizabeth, 61 students attended. At New Broughton Infant and Primary in Manchester, 121 students attended.
