Check Out Beechwood's Gourmet Guava Sauce
Move over tomato ketchup, there's a new sauce in town. Jamaican gourmet guava sauce is the first product in the Beechwood Products brand. The line was conceptualised by the Women's Resource and Outreach Centre (WROC) to encourage the production of alternative crops for agro-processing.

Women's Leadership Initiatives
WROC is currently involved in several initiatives aimed at strengthening women's leadership in Jamaica.
51% Coalition: Development and Empowerment through Equity
The 51 % Coalition is an alliance of women’s organisations and individuals that has been formed to advocate for quotas.
Strengthening Women’s Leadership in Jamaica
Under a programme funded by the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF), WROC executed a training programme ‘Strengthening Women’s Leadership in Jamaica (SWLJ)’. Training sessions were conducted with ninety three ladies for appointment to public and private sector boards and commissions as well as school boards. WROC has created a database which will help to facilitate organizations identifying appropriate candidates for boards of governance from the pool of women we have trained.
