Community Project
Central Village Walkway Paving Program
Tanisha Richards-Whyte, the dynamic force behind Tan Tan Wholesale Enterprises in Central Village, St. Catherine, is on a mission to uplift her community, one step at a time.

Her work reflects a powerful commitment to grassroots change, demonstrating how local entrepreneurs can lead the charge in building more resilient, connected communities.
