Giving Back: For One Child Foundation
At Own Your Legacy Ventures, we believe that building a business should also build a better world. That’s why 10% of all profits are donated to For One Child Foundation, a nonprofit founded by Racquel Knight to support underserved students in rural Jamaica.
Racquel’s journey began in Bellevue, Jamaica, where she experienced firsthand the challenges of attending schools without adequate resources like chairs and desks. Inspired by these experiences, she initiated the "One Chair 4 One Child" project, which evolved into the For One Child Foundation Inc., committed to addressing educational disparities.
Since its inception, the foundation has provided over 600 chairs and desks, thousands of books, and 30 laptops to schools and parishes throughout the country.
When you work with Own Your Legacy Ventures, you're not just investing in your business—you’re helping to create brighter futures for children who deserve the chance to thrive.
