Denis O’Brien, founder and chairman of Digicel Group, today announced a plan to deliver reparations for slavery to Caribbean countries.
O’ Brien made the announcement while delivering the keynote address at CANTO 2022 at the Fountainbleu Hotel in Miami.
Called the Repair Campaign, the reparations project will see former European colonising countries creating an investment funding arrangement for each of the countries affected by slavery.
The fund will be used to promote major projects in agriculture, health and education among other sectors over 25 years.
