SEAD has also collaborated with a number of social groups in promoting social development. These groups include, Toybox Charity Foundation, Brothers United, The Lawman Lynch Foundation, and Jamaica Redevelopment Foundation.
Through SEAD’s Facebook group and webpage, www.seadjamaica.com, interested persons are invited to participate in conversations and debates that are hoped to lead to solutions formulation.
