Sagicor delivers double boost to Melissa-hit schools

SAGICOR Foundation Jamaica on Monday handed over restored facilities at two schools damaged by Hurricane Melissa last October and announced the allocation of an additional $30 million to support further school restoration.

The $30 million, the foundation explained, will build on the record $152 million raised through the 2026 Sagicor Sigma Corporate Run, which surpassed its $150-million fund-raising target.

“Last year, following the hurricane, Sagicor allocated $200 million to national recovery efforts, separate from and in addition to the funds raised through the Sagicor Sigma Corporate Run. I am pleased to share that $30 million of that allocation will support additional school projects, helping to fast-track restoration and return more children to safe, welcoming spaces,” Sagicor Group Jamaica President and CEO Christopher Zacca said during the handover at Little London High School in Westmoreland.
