Food stamps, also known as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, are a form of government assistance that helps low-income individuals and families purchase food. In Jamaica, the food stamp program is known as the Programme of Advancement Through Health and Education (PATH).
PATH provides monthly cash grants to eligible households to help them purchase food and other basic necessities. The program is designed to improve the nutritional status of low-income Jamaicans and to help them achieve better health and education outcomes. PATH has been shown to be effective in reducing food insecurity and improving the overall health and well-being of participants.
