Sycamore Initiative

Sycamore Initiative is focused on supporting communities whom are experiencing erasure and the need to obtain essential resources.  One of our current projects, in partnership with South Sudan Hope Network, aims to install a well at the Panpandiar school in South Sudan, addressing critical challenges related to water access. This well will provide clean drinking water and support better hygiene, health, and educational outcomes for students and the surrounding community.

In collaboration with Jamaican Roots, this food truck delivers food, water, clothing, and rebuilding materials directly to families affected by Hurricane Melissa. 

Spearhead by Orette Vaccianna, owner and founder of Jamaican Roots, LLC in Visalia, California. Vaccianna was born and raised in Grange Hill, Westmoreland, Jamaica.
