Community Empowerment: The Tallawah Foundation
Our Mission
The Tallawah Foundation exists to support communities through humanitarian action, cultural respect, and responsible stewardship, ultimately changing lives. We work in partnership with local organizations and community leaders to uplift families, protect cultural heritage, and respond to urgent needs with dignity, integrity, and care, all while empowering communities to take charge of their own futures.
At the core of our work is a belief that meaningful change happens when communities are supported, respected, and included in shaping their own future. We focus on collaboration, listening, and long-term responsibility rather than short-term solutions.
Through partnerships, cultural initiatives, and community-led efforts, we respond to moments of crisis while honoring identity, resilience, and history. Whether supporting recovery after disaster or stewarding important cultural spaces, The Tallawah Foundation is guided by compassion, accountability, and a commitment to standing with communities as they heal, grow, and move forward.

About The Tallawah Foundation
A Book Can Change a Life!

Our History
Founded in 2005, The Tallawah Foundation has been working tirelessly to help children in need for over 15 years. We have helped over 10,000 children so far and hope to continue making a positive impact in their lives.

The Love and Unity Festival Series!
Love & Unity Tour Festival — Montego Bay
Coming Summer 2027 | Harmony Park, Montego Bay, Jamaica
The Love & Unity Tour Festival is a vibrant cultural celebration that brings together music, movement, and community in one powerful gathering rooted in purpose.
Hosted at Harmony Park in Montego Bay, the festival features live performances by top-tier Caribbean and international artists, alongside cultural showcases that reflect the heart of Jamaica. The event includes performances by children from Children for Change partner schools, high-energy dancehall crews, traditional drummers, and cultural performers who bring rhythm, storytelling, and heritage to the stage.
Beyond the music, the festival grounds will host community booths, cultural vendors, and interactive spaces that invite connection, creativity, and shared experience. This is not just a concert — it is a full cultural experience designed to celebrate unity, uplift youth, and honor Jamaican roots.
Proceeds from the Love & Unity Tour Festival support eco-friendly, disaster-resilient housing initiatives for families affected by hurricanes.
🎶 Music. Culture. Community. Purpose.

The Miss Love and Unity Tour
Love & Unity Tour Festival — Montego Bay
Miss Love and Unity Pageant 2026
National Selection — Jamaica
Location: Jamaica Pegasus Hotel Ballroom
City: Kingston, Jamaica
Date: 2027 (Date to Be Announced)
The Miss Love and Unity Pageant is an international world pageant series founded on culture, unity, and humanitarian impact.
In 2026, the brand officially launches with its national Jamaican selection, where Miss Love and Unity Global Jamaica will be crowned.
This national pageant, hosted at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel Ballroom in Kingston, will select Jamaica’s official representative to the Miss Love and Unity Global stage. The event also marks the unveiling of a newly custom-designed Miss Love and Unity Crown, created exclusively for this international pageant series and revealed for the first time at this inaugural Jamaican crowning.
While Miss Love and Unity is a global pageant platform, beginning with a national selection in Jamaica allows the brand to honor its roots, establish its values, and set the standard for future national and international editions.
The Miss Love and Unity Pageant redefines modern pageantry — celebrating leadership, cultural pride, grace, and purpose — and serves as the foundation for a growing international pageant brand with global reach.
👑💃✨ One crown. One mission. One global platform — beginning in Jamaica.
