Help Us Raise the Next Generation Through I-Rise Youth Camp I am Maharri Lodge, founder of Wellness Rebirth, a wellness educator, retreat curator, yoga teacher, and community-centered space holder with roots in rural Jamaica. My work is devoted to creating transformative experiences that support healing, self-discovery, cultural connection, and holistic well-being. Through retreats, environmental conservation initiatives, and wellness programming, I aim to bridge ancient wisdom, nature-based healing, and practical tools that empower individuals and communities to thrive. As someone deeply connected to Jamaica and passionate about the upliftment of our youth, I am honored to collaborate with Jah Works and Life Yard to bring forth I-Rise Youth Camp, a two-night camping and wellness retreat for children ages 9–16 from the downtown Kingston inner-city community. This camp is designed to offer more than recreation; it is an opportunity for youth to experience mentorship, mindfulness, cultural pride, creative learning, teamwork, and connection to the healing power of nature. Through activities such as drum making, farming, football, Ital cooking, meditation, and storytelling, participants will gain tools for confidence, resilience, and self-worth. Our fundraising goal is $3,000, which will cover accommodations, meals, facilitator support, workshop materials, and all camp-related expenses. With your support, we can create a safe and inspiring space where young people feel seen, nurtured, and empowered to rise into their fullest potential. Every donation helps us plant seeds of hope, leadership, and transformation in the lives of Jamaica’s next generation. Thank you for believing in this mission and walking with us in service.
