Sygnus Foundation gives Riverton students back-to-school boost

AS part of its 10th anniversary celebrations Sygnus underscored its commitment to creating meaningful impact in communities, through the recently launched Sygnus Foundation, with a back-to-school initiative hosted at the Riverton Meadows Early Childhood Centre. The initiative, undertaken in partnership with Sygnus Real Estate Finance Limited, provided targeted back-to-school support to 25 students at the centre, including school uniforms, book vouchers and assistance towards school fees. The support was designed to help students and their families prepare for the new academic year while ensuring that children have some of the essential resources needed to begin the school term ready to learn.

The initiative also represented a continuation of Sygnus’ long-standing partnership with the St Patrick’s Foundation, which operates the Riverton Meadows Early Childhood Centre. “Our partnership with Sygnus has been a long-standing and meaningful one, and we are grateful that they continue to invest in the children and families we serve. “This back-to-school initiative goes beyond providing practical assistance; it gives our students the encouragement and confidence to begin the school year on a positive note.

We value Sygnus’s continued commitment to the Riverton community and look forward to building on this partnership as we work together to create greater opportunities for our children,” said Hermaine Metcalfe, chairperson of the St Patrick’s Foundation. The back-to-school support was complemented by a treat for children in the Riverton community. The event provided the children with an opportunity to enjoy a day of fun and fellowship ahead of the new school year.

For the Sygnus Foundation, the initiative reflects its purpose which was recently launched as part of the company’s 10th anniversary celebrations.
