The Damallie Foundation
Our story
Founded by Kevin and Kendra, the Damallie Foundation is the blending of two worlds, Jamaica and the United States, united by faith and a shared desire to serve families in need.
Kevin, a native of Jamaica, carries a deep connection to the people and communities we serve. Kendra brings her organizational strength, administrative support, and a heart that is equally committed to this mission. Together, we steward the work God began: providing homes and hope where it’s needed most.
“Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God”
1 Corinthians 10:31 NLT
What is the Damallie Foundation?
The Lord pressed upon our heart to build homes for families in Jamaica and we do that through the foundation. The country is vibrant and full of love, but the wages are low and many families cannot afford to build or buy a home that is suitable for standard living. Many homes are rotting and lack basic amenities such as an indoor kitchen or bathroom. There are many people that may share one room.
When do we build the homes?
Once we have the resources to build the next home, we activate our team to build it. We are currently raising money to build the next home.
Where do we build the homes?
Our work takes place primarily in St. Mary, Jamaica, where safe housing needs are significant and resources are limited.
Our first home build.
This is where it all started. We were asked to help a family with food, but quickly realized that the family needed a home. The Lord used this home building to prompt us to start the Damallie Foundation to build homes for more families in Jamaica.
