Annual Project Summaries

The Mustique Charitable Foundation is dedicated to helping those who are in need in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

This year, despite the challenging environment, we are funding:

• 170 partial scholarships for disadvantaged young Vincentians at the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College (Division of Technical and Vocational Education and Division of Teachers Education), and the Barrouallie Technical Institute, Campden Park Technical Institute, Georgetown Technical Institute, and Georgetown Technical Institute
• the purchase of 1,704 books for 126 preschools and 1 primary school and support for literacy professionals covering 225 schools and potentially reaching some 50,000 children.

Beyond the statistics, there is story after story of a child who can rise out of a wheelchair and lead a normal, happy childhood after a life-changing operation, a young starting reader where the doors of literacy have been opened and the light of opportunity begins to shine in, a jobless and dispirited youth given the opportunity to learn a skill and feel the vital surge of pride in accomplishment so necessary for a productive life. These stories are worth repeating.
