The government of St. Kitts and Nevis has officially inaugurated the newly reconstructed St. Peter’s Main Road, marking a significant milestone in the island’s infrastructure development. The project, executed by Rock and Dirt Construction, spans over three miles and includes comprehensive upgrades such as road reconstruction, base stabilization, asphalt resurfacing, and the installation of retaining walls, curbs, sidewalks, and advanced drainage systems. This multimillion-dollar initiative is part of the government’s Aggressive National Road Infrastructure Programme, aimed at enhancing safety, accessibility, and equitable development across communities. Minister of Public Infrastructure Konris Maynard emphasized that the project symbolizes progress and opportunity for the people of St. Kitts and Nevis, particularly in the fast-growing St. Peter’s area. Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew, who has a personal connection to the community, praised the project’s high-quality execution by local contractors and highlighted its significance in addressing long-standing neglect. The completion of St. Peter’s Main Road is expected to serve as a catalyst for further development in the region.

In the wake of Hurricane Melissa’s devastation, Digicel Group and the Digicel Jamaica Foundation have intensified their humanitarian efforts to aid recovery in Jamaica’s hardest-hit regions. The initiative, launched on November 5, 2025, focuses on delivering essential supplies, restoring connectivity, and supporting long-term rebuilding efforts across affected parishes, including Westmoreland, St. Elizabeth, Hanover, St. James, and Trelawny. The joint relief program has already distributed over 1,500 food care packages and plans to provide an additional 10,000 in the coming days. These packages include vital staples like water, rice, and oil, alongside hygiene kits, solar-powered lanterns, and emergency lighting for households still without electricity. To empower communities, Digicel is offering hardware certificates, enabling residents to purchase construction materials locally for sustainable rebuilding. Marcelo Cataldo, CEO of Digicel Group, emphasized the company’s commitment to reconnecting Jamaica through care and compassion, stating, ‘Our responsibility goes beyond business. We’re focused on helping families rebuild and restoring hope.’ The Digicel Foundation, a cornerstone of community development for nearly two decades, has mobilized staff and volunteers island-wide to coordinate distribution efforts. Additionally, Digicel is providing free mobile plans, SIM cards with data for relief workers, and mobile charging stations to ensure residents can stay connected. The initiative also includes donation bins at Digicel’s Kingston headquarters and a regional crowdsourcing campaign to support relief efforts. Charmaine Daniels, CEO of the Digicel Foundation, highlighted the mission’s broader purpose: ‘These care packages are more than supplies; they’re a message that communities are not alone.’ As Digicel’s network teams work tirelessly to restore connectivity, the company remains steadfast in its mission to rebuild with resilience and support Jamaica’s recovery.
