CHEW Foundation was established from Donovan Lewis’s belief that true success is measured not only by personal achievement, but by what we leave behind for others.

Recognised as one of the Caribbean’s leading entrepreneurs and philanthropists, Lewis has spent more than three decades building businesses grounded in discipline, integrity, long-term thinking, and a commitment to helping people create sustainable wealth and financial stability. As his work evolved, so too did his desire to make a lasting contribution beyond the financial sector—one that would invest directly in the next generation.

CHEW Foundation reflects that vision in action.

Driven by a deep commitment to Jamaica and its future, the Foundation works to ensure that children in state care are not defined by circumstance. Instead, they are supported with the tools, resources, opportunities, and guidance needed to become healthy, educated, financially capable adults who are equipped to shape their own futures.

At its core, CHEW is about creating sustainable systems that expand opportunity and strengthen pathways to independence. It is an investment in the potential of young people and in the long-term wellbeing of the communities they will help build.

For Donovan Lewis, legacy is not simply about what is achieved in a lifetime. It is about creating opportunities that endure across generations. By investing in children today, CHEW is helping to build stronger families, stronger communities, and a stronger Jamaica for the future.

“Investing in Children Today Creates Stronger Families, Stronger Communities, and a Stronger Jamaica Tomorrow.”
