Educational Development

Project Education: An Open Letter to My Younger Self for the Montego Bay Home for Girls, also knows as Melody House girls. Chapter sorors and Morris Brown College sorors celebrating their 25th anniversary wrote and read letters of their younger self, providing advice and encouragement to the teenage girls living in the home. 


We provide school shoes, backpacks, textbooks, and other educational supplies for children attending Cambridge Basic School and others; facilitate workshops and give donations to teens mothers of Mary's Child; and partner with community organizations on educational webinars.

Sorors participated in the Giving While Social Distancing project that donated money to Eve for Life, Food for the Poor, and the Montego Bay Home for Girls to help with the COVID-19 pandemic. Jamaica's largest newspaper, The Gleaner covered the activity.

Gaining a college education can often be the gateway to securing jobs with greater wages, financial security, and a better quality of life. Achieving this goal can be significantly more challenging for Jamaican single mothers combating statistics that say nearly 40% of the country’s households are headed by a single parent. The Jamaica Alumnae Chapter (JAC) of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated is putting its global reach into action to help a local student get her education with their ‘Mission Possible Scholarship.’
