Ten Westinghouse 4,000‑watt generators and five standard Starlink units have been donated to schools in western Jamaica by CCL Business Technology Limited, in collaboration with Kyocera Document Solutions America.

The donations, valued at over $2 million, were formally presented to the National Education Trust (NET) during a ceremony at Caenwood Centre in Kingston on Tuesday, December 16.

Warsop Primary School in Trelawny; Frome Technical High School, Llandilo Special Education School, and Cokes View Primary School in Westmoreland, along with Slipe Leased Primary School in St. Elizabeth, will each receive a generator and a Starlink unit.

Additional schools receiving a generator are Spot Valley High School in St. James, Lacovia Primary and Elderslie Primary and Junior High in St. Elizabeth, Rusea’s High School in Hanover, and Friendship Primary in Westmoreland.

CCL Business Technology made the strategic decision to cancel its customer appreciation event and redirect resources to support customers and schools impacted by Hurricane Melissa.

Chief Executive Officer, Wayne Brown, underscored that the hurricane, which made landfall on October 28, impacted every corner of western Jamaica, posing threats to learning, safety and hope.

“In the face of hardship, we choose not to wait for perfect conditions but to act with urgency and compassion. These items embody more than just technology and equipment. They are symbols of our belief in every child’s right to learn, to stay connected and to dream without interruption,” he stated.

In her remarks, NET Executive Director, Latoya Harris‑Ghartey, described the donation as a powerful demonstration of partnership, purpose and shared national responsibility.
