YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP & SKILL DEVELOPMENT Musson Jamaica, as a company founded by entrepreneurs, has entrepreneurship as one of its core values. The Musson Foundation is therefore committed to encouraging entrepreneurship through skill development and supporting young entrepreneurs. We further recognise the value SMEs bring to the economy, and therefore support multiple projects that lead to capacity building and economic independence for entrepreneurs.

The benefits of proper nutrition during the school day have been proven, in terms of enhancing the energy levels and well being of the children, as well as positively impacting their academic performance.
