The Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) has awarded approximately J$32 million to 11 humanitarian and community‑based organisations, supporting education recovery and community‑led development efforts in Jamaica in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa.
The organisations were recognised during a Spotlight Event at the Terra Nova All-Suite Hotel in St. Andrew on Thursday (January 22), held under the theme ‘Rebuilding Futures: Education, Resilience and Community Action’.
Two of the projects are dedicated to education recovery, specifically identified in response to Hurricane Melissa, while the remaining nine reflect Canada’s prior commitment to community‑led initiatives.
