Jamko Foundation<\/strong> works to address racial and social inequities. Simply put, it\u2019s a decision. Look away or step in to help. We chose to put our shoulders to the plow, in order to see people\u2019s lives changed. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHALLENGE<\/strong>: Discrimination is institutionalized and embedded into society and its systems and has consistently prevented poor communities of color from accessing education, building wealth and developing career pathways; leaving millions behind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
