Through its work, WLI continues to support and uplift communities in tangible and lasting ways.Through its parent body, the United Way of Jamaica, the initiative has provided critical assistance to female farmers in St Elizabeth recovering from hurricane-related losses. It has also recently concluded another impactful staging of its “Conversations with Boys” programme, equipping young men transitioning into secondary education with guidance and support.Mentorship remains a cornerstone of WLI’s mission, with continued engagement in the 2025 COJO cohort, an initiative deeply cherished by the late Marcia Erskine. At the heart of its fundraising efforts is VOUCH, which supports the development and operations of the Sylvia Foote Basic School, its nursery and the Mary Issa Clinic facilities that provide essential services to the surrounding community.Proceeds from the premiere will directly support these initiatives, ensuring that every moment of glamour contributes to real, measurable change, a press release from the organisation said on Sunday.The event is supported by sponsors, including the Jamaica Observer, Select Brands, Edgechem, Sagicor Group Jamaica, Barita Investments Limited, InnerHub Consulting Services Ltd, Allied Insurance Brokers, Popeyes, Island Grill, Palace Amusement Company, and SEAR 274.
