S Hotel Foundation Funds Back-to-School Grants | Jamaica News

The S Hotel Foundation is pouring one point five million Jamaican dollars into back-to-school grants for kids of tourism workers still reeling from Hurricane Melissa. With schools reopening and many families facing job losses, these targeted grants—ranging from twenty-five to fifty thousand dollars based on need and school level—offer real relief. Founder Christopher Issa emphasizes the importance of this support, especially as some hotels remain closed and workers struggle financially. A referral system involving HR managers, teachers, pastors, and community leaders ensures help reaches those most in need who might otherwise stay silent. This initiative underscores the deep connection between Jamaica’s tourism success and its workforce—and the shared duty to uplift them when times get tough.
