Introducing the Jamaica Supporting Victims of Violence project, funded by USAID and implemented by Winrock International and local partners Eve for Life and Rise Life Management. Chief of Party Charlene Coore Desai says the project's goal is to "promote a culture of nonviolence and respect for human rights within communities, and to help boost current efforts by the government [of Jamaica] and civil society to address and deter all forms of violence. And ultimately, we hope that SVOV will contribute to making Jamaica a safer, happier and healthier place."
