President's Message
President's Message
For more than four decades, Sandals Resorts International has been involved in giving back to the local communities in the Islands we call home. The establishment of the Sandals Foundation became a structured approach to making positive change within the areas of Education, Community and Environment. Today, our 501c3 is a true philanthropic extension of the brand; an arm that spreads the gospel of inspiring hope across every corner of the Caribbean.
For us, inspiring hope is more than a philosophy; it is a call to action. It is about equipping our people with confidence, empowerment and fulfillment, while providing communities with real, sustainable solutions to the problems they encounter each day. We, in turn, are inspired daily by their resilience, their creativity and their tenacity to achieve a better life. Our immeasurable rewards have been the progress and success of our programs and the beneficiaries.
I am so proud and thankful of the Sandals Foundation family and our dedicated partners, volunteers and community leaders for making positive changes possible. As you take a look through our site, we hope you’ll take away the essence of what it means to ‘Inspire Hope’ and how you can help make a difference!
Sincerely,
Adam Stewart
