The Rotary Club of St. Andrew North has been recognized as one of only three Rotary clubs in Jamaica to receive the prestigious District Governor's Distinguished Award for the 2025–2026 Rotary year.
The award was presented at the 2026 Rotary District 7020 Conference, held in Kingston, Jamaica, in recognition of the Club's outstanding performance, impactful service initiatives, membership growth, leadership, and overall contribution to Rotary during the year.
In addition to this prestigious honour, the Club also received the District Governor's Partnership Award, recognizing its exceptional collaboration with Rotary clubs both within and outside District 7020, as well as with non-governmental organizations, corporate partners, and international organizations. These partnerships enabled the Club to deliver transformative projects in healthcare, education, disaster recovery, youth development, and community service throughout Jamaica.

The Rotary Club of St. Andrew North has donated approximately JMD $3 million (USD $20,000) in critical paediatric equipment to Black River Hospital, strengthening neonatal care for families across St. Elizabeth and neighbouring communities.
The donation, made possible through the generous support of KR Method (USA), Apex Foundation (USA), and United Way of Jamaica, included an infant incubator, a phototherapy lamp, and infusion pumps to enhance the hospital's capacity to care for newborns and young children.
President Pierpont Wilson noted that the donation represents more than medical equipment—it is an investment in hope, improved health outcomes, and stronger healthcare services for Jamaica's youngest patients.
This initiative forms part of the Club's broader Hurricane Melissa Recovery Programme, through which the Rotary Club of St. Andrew North and its partners continue to invest in healthcare, education, and community resilience across Jamaica.
Together, we are transforming lives through service and partnership.

The initiative also included CPR, AED, and First Aid certification training for Rotarians and members of the Calabar High School community, equipping participants with the skills and confidence to respond effectively in medical emergencies.
With a combined investment of approximately JMD $450,000, this project underscores the Club's dedication to strengthening community resilience, promoting health and safety, and ensuring that more lives can be saved when every second matters.


On November 24, 2025, the Rotary Club of St. Andrew North (RCSAN) made a meaningful contribution to the Missionaries of the Poor – Jacob’s Well Home, located at 74 Hanover Street, Kingston, in support of improved safety and living conditions for its residents.
As part of the donation, RCSAN provided twelve (12) emergency lights and a 1,000-gallon water tank to assist the home in meeting essential fire safety standards and requirements. These items will significantly enhance emergency preparedness and overall safety at the facility.
In keeping with the spirit of service and compassion, the club also donated forty-eight (48) new twin bed sheets for the residents. This gesture was offered as an early act of love and care in anticipation of the Christmas season.
The total value of the contribution is estimated at approximately JMD 250,000. This initiative was made possible through the continued generosity, commitment, and kind hearts of RCSAN members and supporters, who remain dedicated to uplifting vulnerable communities and living out Rotary’s guiding principle of Service Above Self.

On Sunday, November 16, 2025, the Rotary Club of St. Andrew North delivered much-needed care and relief packages to more than 40 residents of Parrottee Bay, St. Elizabeth, who were severely impacted by the passage of Hurricane Melissa.
The packages contained food items, household cleaning supplies, personal hygiene products, and other essential necessities to support families during this challenging period.
We extend heartfelt gratitude to our generous sponsors and to the Rotarians who donated, packed, and traveled to St. Elizabeth. Your dedication exemplifies the true spirit of Service Above Self and made a meaningful difference to a community in need.
On August 26th, President Pierpont proudly handed over a digital medical scale to the Sunrise Health Center on Red Hills Road, Kingston.
Education grants, disbursed in September 2025 , to four secondary and tertiary students totalled $280,000
