Stand up for Jamaica is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2007 by a group of volunteers from Group 105 of Amnesty International Italy with the main purpose of providing practical help for Jamaicans, for the most part for court related costs and basic necessities for the inmates on death row in Jamaica’s prisons.

Our current mandate is to enhance and maintain the human rights of all, particularly those who are from the vulnerable groupings – children, women, persons living in impoverish communities, inmates, persons infected and affected by HIV/AIDS, persons living with disabilities, etc, this is done by providing financial and non-financial support to our target populations, and to inform the general public about their rights!
