The Joint Chambers have today disbursed TT$250,000 to Sewa TT to support their flood relief efforts. 

These funds will be utilised by Sewa TT to provide immediate relief to the many families impacted by the ongoing floods across Trinidad.  Sewa TT with coordination by the ODPM, have been providing safe meals, water, and other relief items to impacted households over the past 48 hours. However, it is clear that additional support will be required over coming days and weeks.

The funds were donated to the Joint Chambers over time by members to assist with relief efforts related to natural disasters. This is another tangible example of the support that the private sector provides on issues of national concern.

Revan Teelucksingh, President of Sewa TT says:

Sewa TT is happy to receive this support from the Joint Chambers. This will provide the stability we needed to continue doing the work necessary to assist people.  Like our selfless volunteers, the Joint Chambers has chosen to give their time, effort and other resources to supporting the nation in crisis. Together we are always able to serve better.
