The National HIV/AIDS Response Program (NHARP) was the beneficiary of EC$4000.00 donated by CIBC FirstCaribbean.
Rhona Lawrence, Business Support Officer, said the bank was delighted to offer support to such a valuable outreach programme. “We understand what the National HIV/AIDS Response Program is trying to achieve, and we want to play our part in helping them achieve their goals,” she said.
Lester Guye, Acting National Coordinator of The National HIV and AIDS Response Programme, expressed his gratitude on behalf of the program and encouraged other institutions to follow the example of CIBC FirstCaribbean. “The staff of the NHARP, Ministry of Health and Social Services and by extension the beneficiaries are all extremely grateful. We want to sincerely commend you for such a long standing relationship and we hope it encourages other institutions to do the same,” Mr. Guye said.
“We within the public sector do need strong collaborative links with the private sector to meet the needs of persons with any type of illness,” he added.
The funds are allocated to helping individuals affected by HIV/AIDS.
