PwC firms across the Caribbean have come together to raise more than US$180,000 (JM$29m) in cash to help with recovery efforts in Jamaica following the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa. The collective fundraising initiative saw contributions from staff, partners, and PwC entities throughout the region, demonstrating a powerful commitment to supporting the Jamaican community.

The funds will provide essential aid to those in greatest need. The majority of the funds will be donated to Food for the Poor, a leading relief organization, to support its vital humanitarian efforts. The remainder will be dedicated to helping PwC staff and their families who were directly impacted by the hurricane. In addition to the cash donation, PwC Jamaica is also providing pro bono advisory services to help navigate the challenges of recovery.

Prince Rahming, Territory Leader, PwC Bahamas, said:

“As a Caribbean family, we know the devastating impacts of hurricanes, and our thoughts are with the people and communities in Jamaica impacted by Hurricane Melissa. We're proud to join forces with our regional firms to provide support for those in need. Together, we stand united, committed to aiding the recovery in Jamaica.

Bruce Scott, Territory Leader, PwC Jamaica, said: 

The outpouring of support from our people, our partners, and our firms across the Caribbean has been truly overwhelming. It is a testament to our collective spirit and shared values. In this difficult moment, we reinforce our unwavering commitment to Jamaica. Working together, we will support our communities and our people as we navigate the path to recovery."

PwC Jamaica’s office in Kingston has reopened and resumed normal daily operations. The situation in Montego Bay is being closely monitored.

Frazer Lindsay, CEO of the PwC member firms operating in the Caribbean said:

"I am incredibly proud to see how quickly and generously our people mobilised to support those affected in Jamaica. This is who we are. Knowing the resilience of the Caribbean people, and especially Jamaicans, I have no doubt that the nation will not only recover but will emerge stronger. We are here to help shape that comeback."
