CIBC FirstCaribbean donates to charity
Article by May 28, 2021
President and project manager of the Barbados Alliance to End Homelessness (BAEH) Kemar Saffrey says COVID 19 has been serving a “double whammy” to his charity.
He explained that due to the attendant economic challenges, more people were experiencing financial hardship and seeking to access the charity’s services while at the same time, donor funds were getting less.
Saffrey’s comments came after receiving the final tranche of the $100,000 donated to the charity over the past five years in equal instalments of $20,000 from CIBC FirstCaribbean.
“I am thanking CIBC FirstCaribbean for its five-year commitment to the project. It comes at a time when due to the COVID-19 pandemic, funds from donors have almost dried-up. Be assured that these funds will be put to the best use in servicing our community,” he said.
