Sagicor Life donated the supplies to the NGO to support children who are less fortunate to be fully prepared to head back to school.

During the handover event, Venus Cherry who currently leads RISE St Lucia commended Sagicor for their support of the initiative. He said, “On behalf of Rise St Lucia, I would like to thank Sagicor for agreeing to support us with this book drive. The book drive is about helping the less fortunate in our community, to give every child a chance to become a top achiever. We are grateful that Sagicor agreed to support Rise and the Seaview community as it says a lot about who they are and speaks volumes about what Sagicor stands for.”
