From devastation to transformation. 💜🇯🇲

Last week, we celebrated the handover of the newly rebuilt Cove Primary School in Hanover, following the devastating impact of Hurricane Melissa.

Through it all, the Cove Primary community showed extraordinary resilience - with students even continuing lessons under umbrellas when the rain came.

Supported by J$52.1 million in funding from AFJ, alongside the commitment of our partners and the wider school community, Cove Primary has been rebuilt stronger, more modern and more resilient.

This is what it means to build back better. 💜🇯🇲
