Burke’s Basic School

In 2005, Cari-Med Ltd. formally adopted Burke’s Early Childhood Education Centre – now known as Burke’s Basic School – two years before the Cari-Med & Kirk Distributors Foundation was established. Under the programme, the Foundation supports needy students through the award of annual grants as well as maintenance of the school’s computer facilities. There is also an annual Christmas Treat.

Cari-Med Ltd.’s General Manager, Dennis Grant outlines the reasons behind the Foundation’s decision to develop the Adopt A School Programme, “This initiative falls in line with our numerous efforts to make a lasting, tangible contribution to Jamaica’s human capital. The programme reiterates our company’s commitment to Jamaica, especially the young people of our beloved country. I strongly believe that these young ones here at Burke are an integral part of Jamaica’s future, worthy of our love, respect, attention and protection.”
