Le’ Antonio’s Foundation
In keeping with our avowed commitment to the healthy and
positive development of communities in the Western parishes
in which we conduct business, the Directors of Le Antonio’s
Roofing and Construction have formed Le Antonio’s
Foundation. The Foundation operates as a wholly charitable
entity with an overriding interest in fostering the
harmonious and dignified growth and development of several
targeted communities in St. James and adjoining parishes.
Our company donates one per cent of every project to the
Foundation. These funds are used generally to assist with
the improvement of infrastructure, general amenities and the
standard of living in the targeted communities. The
Directors of Le ARC have identified four areas which are
especially deserving of the focus, commitment and
involvement of the Foundation:
- Education: Schools within the targeted communities
which require improvements to infrastructure and general
facilities will benefit as a matter of priority from
funds allocated by the Foundation for education. The
Foundation will also donate furniture and equipment
where necessary to better facilitate a wholesome and
progressive atmosphere within which learning can take
place.
A scholarship programme will shortly be in place for
final year students studying “Architecture & Construction
Engineering” at the University of Technology. This fund will
come directly from projects that the company will be engaged
in.
- Health: The Le Antonio Foundation will also create a
health fund which will be applied to the needs of the
communities to improve and deepen the delivery of health
care to residents. Special focus will be given to the
provision of health care facilities to children and the
elderly. The Directors of the Foundation will ensure that
adequate resources are identified to assist with the
improvement of physical facilities at local health centers
and clinics which deal with the vast majority of residents.
- Sports: Recognising the powerful unifying and cultural
force which accompanies the involvement of young people in
competitive sporting activities, The Foundation will expand
the current on-going competitions in popular sporting
events. Emphasis will be on creating a number of new
competitions so as to widen the involvement of young people
in the 12 to 18 age group.
The Directors believe passionately that sports will help
to reduce anti-social and aggressive behavior now rampant
especially in young people in many local communities.
- Mentor Programme: This innovation is regarded by the
Directors of the Foundation as being absolutely vital to the
survival of youths in certain disadvantaged communities.
Accomplished and respected individuals are asked to join the
Foundation’s effort to provide a group of wholesome and
positive role models, especially for young people who will
be encouraged to form healthy associations which can assist
to channel their goals along positive paths.
The Foundation will provide the necessary resources to
enable the programme to reach the widest cross-section of
young people in the respective communities.
The Mission: In seeking to attain its objectives, the
Foundation is seeking meaningful and dynamic partnerships
with the widest cross section of groups and organizations
including Churches, Civic and Statutory Organizations as
well as NGO’s. The Directors of the Foundation fervently
believe that its stated objectives are both desirable and
attainable.
