Spanish-Owned Companies Donate US$200,000 To Fight COVID-19

  • Spanish-owned companies that hold investments in Jamaica have donated US$200,000 to the Government to aid in the fight against the coronavirus (COVID-19).
  • The donation is being made through the Spanish-Jamaican Foundation, which was established by the group of Spanish investors in Jamaica to channel their corporate social responsibility activities through a single entity.
  • Spanish Ambassador to Jamaica, His Excellency Josep Bosch Bessa, announced this during a digital press conference hosted by the Ministry of Tourism on Thursday (April 9).
  • He noted that as part of their desire to help in combatting COVID-19, the investors decided to support the Ministry of Health’s efforts through the Spanish-Jamaican Foundation, adding that “almost every dollar that is now in their account, has been allocated for a special donation to the Ministry of Health”.
