In a significant move to aid Jamaica’s recovery from the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa, the Guardian Group Charitable Foundation has committed US$312,000. This donation, one of the largest single contributions from Trinidad and Tobago (TT), is part of the broader ‘Building a Better Jamaica Fund,’ a coordinated recovery initiative led by the National Commercial Bank Jamaica Ltd (NCB) and managed by the NCB Foundation. The fund has already raised approximately US$2.8 million, including an initial US$1.25 million from NCB, supplemented by partner contributions and Guardian Group’s substantial donation. Hurricane Melissa, which struck Jamaica on October 28, left widespread destruction across the island, damaging infrastructure, agriculture, and housing, and displacing thousands of residents. The Jamaican government declared a national disaster, prompting a large-scale relief and reconstruction effort supported by regional governments, businesses, and aid agencies. Guardian Group’s contribution will support both immediate relief and long-term rebuilding, working through experienced partners such as the American Friends of Jamaica, Food for the Poor Jamaica, Unicef Jamaica, and the Global Empowerment Mission. Shinelle Grant-Sealey, Guardian Group’s vice-president for environment, social and governance, emphasized the organization’s regional commitment to recovery and resilience, stating that the donation is an immediate investment in stability for affected families and institutions. Guardian Group has also provided care packages and internal support for its employees in Jamaica impacted by the storm. With operations across TT, Jamaica, Barbados, and the Dutch Caribbean, the group remains dedicated to helping Caribbean communities rebuild and recover.
