Improving How We Live
CITIVA set out on this journey five years ago with the goal of improving people’s lives. With the support of our community partners, and through utilizing education to promote healthier lifestyles we continue to realize that dream.
Building a Community
Through research and sponsored programs with the University of the West Indies (UWI), CITIVA remains committed to improving cannabis education at the university level.
In partnership with local Jamaican Foundations, CITIVA has had the opportunity to support youth schools and health education programs throughout Jamaica.
With UWI and our philanthropy partners, CITIVA is developing a university-certified educational program targeted to veterans, and open to all who are interested in cannabis cultivation and production.
