  CAREIF’s Education and Community Outreach Programme was launched as the charitable arm of CAREIF that will see to the sustained development of communities in Jamaica and by extension the wider Caribbean. We are committed to reaching communities with a view to transforming them through education and community outreach.
The Education and Community Outreach Programme in partnerships with other corporate entities will aid in the continued education of our youths through scholarships and monetary contributions. This will assist the financially challenged persons within the communities and create productive opportunities which will reduce crime, violence and other social problems. To date the fund has two charities working with (1) The Hanbury Children’s Home (Manchester) (2) St. Mary’s Early Childhood (St. Andrew)
This Fund was born out of the fervent desire of the team of dedicated associates at CAREIF LIMITED to give back to individuals and communities alike, simply because we believe in assisting in developing the whole man for the greater good. With this commitment the Board of Directors and Trustees have approved the dedication of 25% of all its profits to this noble programme.
Summary
The Education and Community Outreach Programme is currently laying its foundation and will be taking strides towards becoming a viable entity that will see to the revolutionizing of education in Jamaica. We are anticipating acquiring the necessary support to move forward and maintain sustainable growth.
