DDL donates to Jamaica relief efforts
Kaieteur News – Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) has dispatched containers of relief supplies to Jamaica following the recent hurricane that caused widespread devastation on the island.
Diamond Mineral Water was part of DDL’s donation package
1,428 cases of TOPCO juices were also donated
The shipment, which departed last week, comprises 3,376 cases of Diamond Mineral Water and 1,428 cases of TOPCO juices. This humanitarian contribution is being made with the support of DDL’s associate company, National Rums of Jamaica (NRJ), to aid communities impacted by the hurricane.
On arrival in Jamaica, the consignment will be processed and distributed through a coordinated effort between the Jamaican Stock Exchange (JSE) and NRJ, who will manage all clearance and distribution activities. The containers were prepared and loaded by DDL staff at the company’s Diamond complex.
DDL noted that its response reflects the company’s longstanding commitment to supporting Caribbean neighbours in times of crisis, and to working closely with partners across the region whenever urgent assistance is needed. Chairman of DDL, Mr. Komal Samaroo, said: “DDL is committed to supporting our Caribbean neighbours, especially in times of difficulty. Our donation is intended to assist communities in Jamaica as they work toward recovery, and we are pleased to provide essential supplies at this critical time. We are also grateful for the support of our associate company, National Rums of Jamaica, as we stand with the people of Jamaica during their rebuilding efforts.”
