KEN AND SADIE STUDENT SUPPORT INITIATIVE (KASSSI)
The KEN AND SADIE STUDENT SUPPORT INITIATIVE (KASSSI) is a UK-registered charity (number 1136741) focused on improving educational, health, and social outcomes for financially and emotionally disadvantaged children, families, and communities in Jamaica[1][2][5]. Founded to address systemic barriers to education and empowerment, KASSSI operates through community-driven initiatives in areas such as Petersville, Westmoreland, and other rural regions[1][5].
Mission and Activities
KASSSI’s mission centers on fostering independence and aspiration by addressing poverty, social exclusion, and limited access to resources[1][5]. Its work spans three core areas:
- Education: Through its Back2School Initiative, the charity provides school uniforms, nutritional support via Breakfast Clubs, and youth development programs to enhance academic engagement[5].
- Health: Annual Health Awareness Days offer communities access to essential health information and preventive care resources[5].
- Social Welfare: Efforts include promoting family stability, employment opportunities, and community-building activities to reduce systemic inequalities[1][5].
Structure and Funding
KASSSI emphasizes grassroots involvement, aiming to establish self-sustaining, resident-driven programs across Jamaica[1][5]. It relies on donations, including vehicle contributions through partnerships like Charity Car, to fund its initiatives[5]. Projects are designed to create long-term opportunities for children and families, particularly in underserved rural areas[1][5].
Key Programs
- Breakfast Clubs: Ensure pupils receive nutritious meals to support learning[5].
- Uniform Provision: Reduces financial barriers to school attendance[5].
- Community Workshops: Focus on health literacy and vocational skills[1][5].
KASSSI’s model prioritizes local ownership, aiming to replicate its success in additional communities over time[1][5].

Philip (Pictured) is the son of Miss Sadie who departed this dimension 07th February 2022. R.I.P.E. He writes... “I donated and installed some new basketball nets for the basketball court at Newhope school. They've always been gracious in allowing me to maintain my training whenever I'm back home in Jamaica. The security guards who allow me entry at 6am, the teachers and principal who always give me a warm welcome and the children who gather around and watch me, towards the end of my workouts.” ........... The CEO says “Philip appears to be on the trajectory of his mother... and this is without my prompting! OK, well, just a tiny bit!! I cannot help but notice the link between my nephews’ determination, drive and self-confidence... So similar to the requirements of any student aiming for the stars through education. Through application. Through Sporting prowess. Proficiency and competence are all on display as Philip lines up and executes basket after basket after basket. However, this ability did not come over night. It came after years of dedication, commitment, and allegiance to the journey. New Hope School should give themselves a huge pat on the back. We are all very proud to be associated with you... Let us continue to support students who are keen to shoot high... to shoot for the stars... and not to shoot each other!! Mr. Garth Walcott- CEO DipSW, BSc (Hons), PGDip (HSSW), M.A. (fb)
This young lady is a Pre- Doctoral Fellow. She is 24 years old TODAY (08th 01 2024), and completed her Masters Degree in her 23rd year, in Academic Research at UCL, which is an Ivy League University. Incidentally, the Ivy League is made up of 24 Universities. Moreover, 43% of UCL’s research is rated as world-leading, and the Complete University Guide, ranks UCL as the sixth best Russell Group university, with an acceptance rate similar to that of Oxford University at around 15%. On the whole, courses are incredibly competitive and high grades go a long way in making a students’ application standout. So, acceptance was not too surprising, given that this student achieved 7 A stars and 3 As in GCSE’s, followed by a Distinction in a BSc. * Her head was getting so big, she needed to be reminded that she got a B in German!! Still, she has already been published... TWICE!! However, the programme, which got the student to UCL was also extremely unique... and I will tell you about this later! LOVE THIS PRINCESS, as I love ALL my children!!! This is my youngest Princess Rachel Ruth Rebekah. Please support us in wishing her the very best in her journey...! of (fb)

Charity Initiatives Health Awareness Day KASSSIs 5th Health Awareness Day is fast approaching This is a family and Community affair where professionals and clinicians share. Back to School Our Back2School Initiative 201415 provided uniforms for a number of children. I cant help but share this one with you. Bird Box Appeal The Bird Box initiative came about when Judith KASSSIs Secretary attended a fayre at the school and saw the boxes.
