Rebuilding the foundation of a good, solid education, to provide opportunities and give our citizens hope.

Introduction
In 2007, as part of its continuing focus on rural regeneration and the empowerment of communities, the Foundation awarded the Point Hill Diagnostic Reading Centre (PHDRC) a challenge grant or matching funds agreement for J$3 Million over three years. The PHDRC located in Point Hill, a small farming community in rural St. Catherine, was formed in 1998 in direct response to the low reading levels of students in the local primary and junior high schools. It has since evolved into a testing, teaching facility and resource centre, expanding its offerings to community members.
