At its meeting held on Thursday 18th September 2015 following the devastation caused by Tropical Storm Erika, the President’s Charities Foundation Incorporated decided to launch The President’s Charities Foundation (Erika) Relief Fund with the intention of raising US$100,000.00, (EC$270,000.00), with a start up amount of twenty-seven thousand Eastern Caribbean dollars (EC$27,000.00) contributed by the President’s Charities Foundation Reserve Fund. The objective of the Relief Fund is to provide medium term relief and comfort to the families, more particularly school children, who reside in two of the worst affected communities on the West Coast, namely Colihaut and Coulibistrie; also Grotto Home for the Homeless and Operation Youth Quake.
A President’s Charities Foundation “Erika” Relief Fund Account has been opened at the National Bank of Dominica to facilitate this fundraising effort.
