C&W Communications, the operators of Flow, Flow Business, C&W Business and BTC, is proud to announce the release of the 2023 annual report of the Cable & Wireless Charitable Foundation (CWCF), showcasing a year filled with impactful initiatives and remarkable community support.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The report highlights the Foundation’s commitment to its responsibility framework focused on Learning, the Environment, Digital Access, and Disaster Relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis past year has been transformative for the CWCF and the communities we serve,\u201d said Rosario Veras, Executive Director, CWCF.<\/p>

\u201cWe are immensely proud of the positive impact our initiatives have had, from connecting households to providing essential training and resources. These achievements are a testament to the dedication of our volunteers, the generosity of our donors, and the resilience of the communities we support.”<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A key achievement was the successful launch of JUMP\u2013 a private-public partnership between C&W Communications and some Caribbean countries that aims to help bridge the digital divide and foster greater digital inclusion in a region that today still has less than 65% broadband penetration with 27 million users from a total combined population of 44 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the CWCF, the company is providing qualifying households with a subsidised high-speed internet connection, a free laptop computer and relevant training for individuals and families. To date, over four thousand households in Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica and St Lucia have been connected, ensuring more families have access to essential digital resources.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are especially grateful for the progress we have made this year to improve connectivity for those most in need, and for the profound difference it is making in their lives. We have plans to expand JUMP to new markets, empower even more communities, and build a brighter, more connected future for the Caribbean,\u201d added Veras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
