MONTEGO BAY — Sandals Resorts International (SRI) has launched a new year-long campaign to celebrate the 15 th anniversary its non-profit arm, the Sandals Foundation. Titled ‘Empower 15,’ the campaign will include ‘The Power of 15’ project, which will harness the power of the Caribbean sun to bring sustainable solar energy to local schools. To kickstart the campaign and in tribute to Caribbean Heritage Month, for every donation of US$15 or higher made to the Sandals Foundation during the month of June 2024, Sandals Resorts will donate US$15 to The Power of 15 project.

Power is power in today’s world, where a digital divide is determining who succeeds and who may be left behind,” said Heidi Clarke, Executive Director of the Sandals Foundation.



“We celebrate and lean into our 15 years of work empowering Caribbean communities combined with a donor initiative bringing forward the power of a $15 donation to light up schools in a way that limits carbon footprints through renewable energy sources.” Through this effort, the Sandals Foundation will raise the funds needed for the installation of solar panels on school buildings in under-resourced Caribbean communities. On average in the Caribbean, one kilowatt – the amount of electricity consumed in one hour – costs more than double the average price in North America.

And because many.
