Let's unite to assist the people of Carriacou & Petite Martinique after the destruction of Hurricane Beryl.
My Dear Friends and Supporters,
The people of Carriacou and Petite Martinique need our help, let's come together and make a difference. The destructive Hurricane Beryl, a category 4 storm, made landfall on July 1, 2024., leaving a trail of destruction on these beautiful islands. Carriacou and Petite Martinique, known for their warm and welcoming people, pristine beaches, and rich culture, now face immense hardship and struggle.
The people of these islands are known for their kindness, resilience, and unwavering faith. However, the impact of the hurricane has been overwhelming, leading to the loss of homes, businesses, schools, and essential infrastructure. Their livelihoods, built through hard work and dedication, have been swept away by this powerful storm.
Tourism, fishing, and agriculture, which sustain the islands, have been severely affected, leaving many with nothing but their lives. The majority of the population is homeless, as approximately 95% of the houses have been demolished. The aftermath of Hurricane Beryl has left behind a landscape of debris and destruction, creating an urgent need for essential supplies.
Please join us in raising funds to provide the people of Carriacou and Petite Martinique with the essentials they need in this time of crisis. Your support can truly make a difference in helping them rebuild their lives and find hope once again.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Demonstrating how to read nutrition facts labels of popular sweet drinks to make healthier choices.
Recently, there has been a significant increase in the prevalence of diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity in the Caribbean region. In response, we have arranged free health and wellness workshops. These workshops aim to educate individuals on how to make healthier food choices by learning how to read and understand nutrition labels on sugary drinks and other packaged foods found in supermarkets. Additionally, we have provided free medical supplies and organized activities to empower community members to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Our workshops are interactive and educational, featuring fun activities that demonstrate the effectiveness of physical activities and stress reduction in lowering blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, and more.
Please help us continue to provide free glucose and blood pressure monitors to those in need within the community. Your support is greatly appreciated.
