Standing for the
greatness of all humanity

Giving everything we can for the betterment of life and love

Our Vision for Love encourages us to extend beyond the walls of our company and give back to the communities that have given us so much. In the spirit of our generous co-founder, Joan Duncan, we are committed to doing our part to share in the inter-relatedness of all life.

In this vision, the JMMB Joan Duncan Foundation is JMMB’s way to actualize our social responsibility, through volunteering and empowerment.

That same commitment to corporate social responsibility is critical to JMMB Trinidad and Tobago in supporting local community initiatives, specific initiatives in the areas of education, people development/empowerment, sports, health, and general outreach.

Why we give back

When giving back to our community, we have three actionable goals in mind.

To strengthen our understanding of ourselves as powerful human beings, so that we may unearth greatness in ourselves and each other.
To introduce necessary skill sets to support the mindset and behavioural changes for individuals and organisations.
To uncover the individual and collective paradigms within which we are operating, which shape our ways of being, our attitudes, our behaviours, and our actions. Only then is transformation possible.

How we give back

Here are just some of the ways in which we seek to impact the community and the nation:

National Projects: To make a difference, both the little things and the big things matter. On a national scale, we help by empowering communities. Sometimes, that means employing youth to give them a start in the working world. At other times, it means coaching local football teams on a volunteer basis, to forge strong teams and values. Still, at other times, it means creating programmes to help children make the best possible decisions.

Education: Education is one of the most powerful weapons we have to combat poverty. We believe in education, which is why we sponsor scholarships for our nation’s youth. This gives them the chance to learn, grow, and share in the empowerment that a sound education provides.

Transformational Training: In order to transform the world, we must first transform ourselves. That means we must take steps to enhance personal growth, facilitate positive self-discovery, and build our core values. We host transformational training sessions to help participants to reach their full potential.

Entrepreneurial Transformation: Combating poverty also means encouraging innovative thinking in our future leaders. We sponsor and provide tangible support to entrepreneurial competitions among our nation’s youth, awarding prizes to the top competitors.

Community Involvement: Our vision of love sees us transforming communities for a more prosperous nation. Through the network of JMMB branches, Team members are able to be involved in initiatives for community development through volunteerism and financial support. We all play our part to make a difference in our communities.
