Episode 174 - Back to Jamaica Series: The Heart of the Mission — How the Sandals Foundation is Making Its Impact in Jamaica with Heidi Clarke

In today’s episode of Back to Jamaica, Heidi Clarke, Executive Director of the Sandals Foundation, shares an inspiring look at how the Sandals Foundation continues to uplift Jamaica and support the communities that make the island so special. Guided by its mission to uplift Caribbean communities, she shares how the Foundation mobilized quickly after Hurricane Melissa, and continues to provide meaningful support where it’s needed most.  Heidi also highlights the powerful role tourism plays in these efforts, with travelers making a meaningful impact through initiatives like Pack for a Purpose— a program where visitors can pack school supplies, books, and baby essentials that help children and classrooms thrive. With the help of strong global partners, local government collaboration, and visitors who care deeply about Jamaica, she is confident the island is already moving forward quickly and will emerge stronger than ever.
