Basseterre, St. Kitts – The TDC Insurance Company Limited (TDCIC) continues its commitment to support educational advancement with the recent donation of a new 15.6 Inch Hewlett Packard Laptop and Premiere Speakers, to the Saddlers Secondary School on St. Kitts, and a LG 43 Inch Smart Television to the Violet O Jeffers Nicholls Primary School, on Nevis.
The corporate contribution valued at seven thousand five hundred and twenty dollars (EC$7520.00) forms part of the insurance company’s corporate agenda to support educational advancement at all levels, in particular digital learning, to help bridge the digital divide, to give students access to necessary tools to achieve academic success in the classroom.
Ms. Atisha Byron, Operations Manager, spoke of the importance of the donation and the impact it will have on both the students and teachers who will be using the much-needed equipment.
“We, at the TDC Insurance Company Limited (TDCIC) are thrilled to be able to support our schools and students with this essential equipment. We believe that education is a key component of a healthy and vibrant community, and this makes us proud to be able to give back in such a meaningful way.”
The timely investment is just one of the many ways that the company, and by extension the TDC Group of Companies, have been actively ‘giving back’ to several notable causes with a focus on education, healthcare, and community development.

As the Federation observes Breast Cancer Awareness month in October, the TDC Home and Building Depots continue to play its part in helping to raise consciousness of the disease.
Through its Pinktober campaign, the retail outlets are giving customers the opportunity to get deep discounts on all pink tagged products in store, and access to free breast screening, every Saturday from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m., by a team of trained and certified health professionals.
Pink displays with ribbons and bows can be found in the power aisles, the staff is dressed in pink, and the St. Kitts store’ façade also lit in pink, to remind patrons to ‘think pink’ in support of the National effort and as a show of solidarity.
Pinktober forms part of the companies’ annual cause related outreach programmes to advocate, celebrate, and educate the public about the realities of breast cancer.
The TDC Group of Companies has once again given its corporate backing to the St. Kitts and Nevis Alzhemier’s Association, as it celebrates Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, in September.
The company ‘repainted’ its Home and Building Depot on the Frigate Bay Road in St. Kitts, in purple, the organisation’s signature colour, to make a strong statement in support of those persons who are affected by the progressive neurologic disorder.
Additionally, in honour of World Alzheimer’s Day, which is celebrated annually on 21st September, staff across all departments donned their purple uniforms in solidarity with the local organization to further increase public understanding of the disease.
In recent years, assistance has also come in the form of services through the donation of equipment and materials to conduct training, membership development activities, and community outreach programmes.
