Education restart programme set up to support storm-hit schools in the west

More than J$1.8 million in startup support has already been invested through Project STAR’s nano grant programme, a major highlight shared at the Project STAR Town Hall Meeting held in the Rose Garden community, recently. Now three years into its intervention in the community, Project STAR continues to expand opportunities for residents by pairing financial support with comprehensive skills and workforce training.

Project STAR, in partnership with the High Commission of Canada in Jamaica through the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI), has launched the Project STAR Hurricane Melissa Educational Re-Start Initiative – a response programme designed to support the recovery and reopening of schools heavily impacted by Hurricane Melissa.
