Hurricane Beryl in July caused extensive damage in Jamaica and cost the agricultural sector $4.73 billion in losses, affecting 48,852 farmers. The project aims to equip rural at-risk youth in Manchester, Jamaica, with vocational skills and certifications to enhance their livelihood and income opportunities and improve community climate resilience. The Project intends to empower 210 rural youth through skills training in trades such as crop production, commercial food preparation, greenhouse technology, butchery, and nail care. The project also aims to train youths in climate-smart farming techniques like irrigation, crop rotation, and mulching, and intends to better equip them to support local agriculture education and food supply.

This project is part of Canada’s Renewed Women Voice and Leadership flagship initiative. It will aim to equip PEKKA Foundation and Pekka union activists with the necessary skills, resources and support to strengthen their ability to effectively advocate for women's rights and drive sustainable social change. This will, in turn, enhance their cohesiveness and sustainability and help them work in a coordinated and collaborative manner, building an active feminist movement for long-term change. By promoting gender equality and empowering women to assert their rights, the project aims to foster an environment where access and control over livelihood and economic resources, social and legal protection and security are no longer sources of inequality, and structural poverty.
