United For Jamaica
United For Jamaica (UFJ)- a non-profit organization run by a collective of
dedicated and progressive individuals looking to do practical projects that
impact people in a positive manner. As members of not just the Jamaican, but the
Caribbean and West Indian communities, UFJ’s projects serve many and its
membership outreach target those who look to serve communities in need, no
matter their nationality.
Although a very new organization, UFJ has completed very successful projects. In
2004, UFJ assisted with the Hurricane Ivan relief efforts in Atlanta and raised
six thousand dollars and received donated goods that packed a twenty-foot
container that was shipped to Jamaica. In conjunction with Union of Jamaica
Organization of Atlanta (UJOA) and Atlanta Jamaica Association (AJA) with Vin
Martin, UFJ began a series of medical forums designed to educate the public
about the spread of life threatening diseases and medical issues that affect the
community and what we can do to alleviate the problems.
Currently, UFJ is running a text book drive to gather books for identified
schools and libraries in Jamaica. UFJ is also working with The Guyana
Association to aid the current flood relief efforts in Guyana.
UFJ will be continue to spearhead and assist in projects that enhance life for
our people in Jamaica and the Caribbean/West Indies. We welcome any comments or
ideas and are open to talk with any individuals or groups of people who may need
UFJ assistance. For more information please call 404 533 1248 or email us at

Sincere regards,
United for Jamaica
