COMMUNITY

The Rockhouse Foundation is a powerful, transformative force in local education. We’ve invested almost $10 million dollars in local education over the past 20 yrs, and we’ve built the best all-inclusive in Jamaica: The Sav Inclusive School. It’s the first of its kind in Western Jamaica where children with different abilities learn side by side. Rockhouse underwrites all administrative and fundraising expenses of the Foundation, so every donation directly supports projects. The Rockhouse Foundation is an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit and a Jamaican registered charity.

ENVIRONMENT

Our most sacred goal is regeneration: touching our precious Earth lightly, giving more to the Earth than we take. To that end, we have been Green Globe Certified continuously, for over 20 years and counting. Our Green Globe Coordinator, Ruel Rowe assesses our impact closely, keeping us on track with our sustainable goals.


This means we use an accredited Environmental Management system to monitor our use of natural resources, our emissions, and hazardous materials. We have eliminated single use plastic water bottles, introducing our new brand of locally sourced and bottled mineral water, Discovery Water; and are always innovating to reduce and, wherever possible, eliminate waste across our supply chain. We grow most of our own produce, and supply other hotels locally with our hydroponic and organic farm, make our own candles, furniture and spa products.
