About Us

Making the World a Better Place For All of Us

Our Story

The Jamaica Association in Switzerland (JAS), a non-profit organisation, was founded in 2005 by eight Jamaicans residing in Switzerland who wished to commemorate Bob Marley on his 60th birth anniversary. The first Bob Marley fete as it was called was held on May 12 that year with some 250 Jamaicans and friends of Jamaica in attendance.
