SAHS IS SUPPORTING JAMAICA'S RECOVERY
Post-Melissa Education Recovery Fund Launched
Centenary Fundraising Paused
Dear SAHS Family,
Hurricane Melissa has deeply affected Jamaica, especially the western region, and many in our SAHS community continue to recover. While our campus was spared, the wider education sector—already strained by Covid-19 and Hurricane Beryl—once again, has suffered significant setbacks. Our thoughts remain with every family facing loss and rebuilding.
Your generosity has always been a source of hope. We invite you to stand with us once again as we support our affected students and teachers, strengthen partner schools, and help rebuild the future of education across Jamaica.

SUPPORTING RECOVERY FOR THOSE AFFECTED BY THE HURRICANE
(i) SAHS students and teachers
(ii) Grants to high schools within our United and Methodist denominational family* and other affected high schools to help them return to teaching and learning especially for grades 11-13 as they prepare for vital external exams.
* Westwood and Clarendon College.
OUR SAHS POST-MELISSA EDUCATION RECOVERY FUND
The School administers the Fund. Your donation is made via the SAHS Foundation.
With your generosity we can ensure help reaches the students and institutions most in need.
We aim to raise $15 Million.
A CALL TO OUR COMMUNITY
For 100 years, SAHS has stood on compassion, service, and sisterhood.
Many alumnae have already expressed their desire to help—especially knowing that Grade 11–13 students, still recovering from the Covid-19 period, now face additional emotional and academic challenges.
