Digital Lending Innovation (DLI) has made a remarkable gift of $35,000 to the University of the Virgin Islands' Center for Excellence in Leadership and Learning (CELL). The contribution will be key to enhancing women's healthcare initiatives across the U.S. Virgin Islands, particularly the EmpowerU Youth Summit.  

The EmpowerU Youth Summit is an invaluable platform that fosters health education and empowerment among young women, covering a spectrum of crucial topics such as reproductive health, nutrition, mental health, and preventive care. With DLI's support, this initiative is poised to make an even more significant impact on the lives of young women in the community.  The summit was held in February on St. Croix and St. Thomas and is scheduled for March 9th on St. John.  

This gift is pivotal in advancing CELL’s efforts to collaborate with non-governmental and community-based organizations to reach diverse populations and address specific health needs in the community.  

DLI is an Economic Development Commission (EDC) beneficiary based in St. Thomas. It is a global consulting firm and strategic partner in financial industry transformation, specializing in strategy, technology, and business evolution. DLI is committed to advancing women’s health and investing in initiatives such as the EmpowerU Youth Summit to empower women, enhance healthcare accessibility, and contribute to a healthier future.
