About Us.
Founded in 1993, the Trenchtown Reading Centre is a non-profit community hub that empowers children and adults in Trench Town, Jamaica, through literacy, education, and critical thinking.
This welcoming space fosters personal and community growth with a rich collection of books and life-skill programs, building a foundation for opportunity and resilience. Trench Town, a small neighborhood in West Kingston, is often defined by both hardship and vibrant culture. Known for its roots in reggae and the spirit of unity, the area faces challenges from violence and marginalization. However, the community remains determined to create a future grounded in constructive change, education, and hope.
