2024
FOREWORD BY ISORINE MARC, JAMII'S FOUNDER AND ALCHEMIST
2024 marks the second year of Jamii having a home at the heart of The Esplanade community: The Jamii Hub at 264 The Esplanade. Have you had a chance to visit? Have you experienced the magic happening in this space? More than magic, it has become a welcoming home—a place where friends meet, creativity flows freely, minds are invited to discover and learn, and a profound sense of belonging takes centre stage. In 2024, we produced 515 workshops and activations for a total of 7,000 visits to The Jamii Hub!
As we begin planning for 2025, it’s important to pause and appreciate how far we’ve come. Reflecting on 2024 reminds us of the strong foundation we’ve built together—one that enables us to soar into the new year with confidence and ambition.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire Jamii team for their passion and dedication. Driving a social project like Jamii takes an incredible amount of heart. Thank you to our Board of Directors for their invaluable leadership and guidance. To the 182 artists who made 2024 so special, your creativity gifted us with unforgettable moments and unique experiences.
We also extend our deepest gratitude to our funders—both public and private—and to every single donor who supported us. This year, we were thrilled to receive the most donations since 2011! Your support not only provides the means to realize our community dreams but also reaffirms that the work we do matters.
To our 38 volunteers, thank you for enhancing the experiences we offer our community and giving Jamii a total of 480 hours of your time, energy, and experience. And to those who wear multiple hats at Jamii, defying easy categorization yet embodying the spirit of the organization—you are truly part of Jamii’s DNA.
One of the most profound lessons we’ve learned in 2024 is that Jamii is not defined by any one person. Jamii is the collective stories we all tell. By sharing your memories of and with Jamii, you become the storytellers who keep our work relevant and meaningful.
So, as we move forward, we invite you to keep sharing your memories. But for now, join us as we reflect on and celebrate everything 2024 brought to life.
