New Hall is a small town hidden away in the remote hilltops of St. Ann (county), Jamaica. Located about 25 miles inland from the north coast tourist town of Ocho Rios, it is a small farming community with hardly any opportunities for employment. Walking long distances is a common occurrence. There are no factories or business places to employ local labor. Most residents experience limited education, poor healthcare and overcrowded living conditions — perpetuating the cycle of generational poverty.
