Over the past thirty years of operations, the LASCO Affiliated Companies has demonstrated its commitment to the development of Jamaica and the Jamaican people through its sustained charitable support in areas such as education, health, national security, sports and the environment. In 2015, the affiliated companies made a strategic decision to register the LASCO Chin Foundation (LCF) in an effort to consolidate many of these charitable activities and to address some of the country\u2019s most urgent social and economic problems. The LASCO Chin Foundation formally started operations on June 1, 2018 with a focus on early intervention to help Jamaica\u2019s at-risk youth develop the relationships, goals and capacities needed to break the cycle of poverty and crime and become productive members of society, especially as successful entrepreneurs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
