Rebuilding Lives Through Skills: MCF’s Grenadines Empowerment Project (GEMS) Delivers Lasting Impact

In the wake of the devastating impact of Hurricane Beryl, the Mustique Charitable Foundation (MCF) responded with more than immediate relief—we invested in long-term recovery by empowering Vincentians with practical, employable skills.

Through the Ministry of Education’s Grenadines Empowerment Project (GEMS), MCF funded vocational training programmes designed to help individuals and communities rebuild their lives while strengthening their economic resilience. The project provided opportunities for affected residents to develop skills that support both employment and entrepreneurship, ensuring that recovery would extend far beyond reconstruction.


A total of 82 individuals enrolled in the programme, with 69 participants successfully completing their training, representing an impressive 84% completion rate despite the many challenges families continued to face in the aftermath of the hurricane.
Training was delivered across multiple locations in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and covered areas critical to community recovery and sustainable livelihoods, including:

  • Carpentry (Bequia and Union Island)
  • Plumbing
  • Electrical Installation
  • Motor Vehicle Repairs
  • Agro-Food Processing
  • Fish Processing and Handling

These programmes equipped participants with practical skills to support rebuilding efforts, improve food security, strengthen local industries, and create new income-generating opportunities.

The impact of the project has already been evident. Several graduates have launched their own small businesses in agro-processing and fish processing, producing value-added products for local markets and community events. Others have secured employment in trades such as plumbing, electrical installation, and automotive repair, while some have continued their education through further technical training. In Union Island, participants in the carpentry programme even collaborated to construct a storage facility using the skills they acquired during the course—demonstrating the immediate value of the training to their community.

The Mustique Charitable Foundation extends its sincere gratitude to our donors whose generosity made this initiative possible. Your support has enabled individuals not only to recover from the effects of Hurricane Beryl but also to build brighter, more sustainable futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Mustique’s Three Charity arms Unite to Assist the Southern Grenadines

Written by Leopard Websites on . Posted in Project Update.

Mustique’s Three Charity arms Unite to assist the Southern Grenadines Following Hurricane Beryl.


The Mustique Charitable Trust (MCT), the Mustique Charitable Foundation (MCF) & the UK Friends of the Mustique Charitable Trust (UKFMCT) came together on Tuesday 10th February 2026 to handover a sizeable donation to the Ministry of Health, Wellness, Environmental Health and Energy.

The Mustique Charitable Foundation (MCF), represented by Project Director Natalia Gill, handed over dental equipment to the Ministry of Health, Wellness, Environmental Health and Energy to support the reinstatement of dental services at the Ashton Community Clinic in Union Island, following extensive damage caused by Hurricane Beryl in 2024.

The equipment will significantly transform the clinic’s capacity to deliver oral health services to residents of Union Island and surrounding islands, many of whom experienced disruptions in access to essential healthcare following the disaster.


News Reports & Social Media

Also present were the Administrative Director, Avanell DaSilva & Administrative Assistant, Jolice George, representing the sister charity UKFMCT, which donated essential medical equipment to outfit both the Celina Clouden Hospital and the Mayreau Community Clinic. Additionally, in December 2025, MCT and UKFMCT collaboratively funded much-needed renovations of the Ashton Community Clinic and the Doctor’s Quarters at the Celina Clouden Hospital on Union Island.

Natalia Gill & Avanell DaSilva officially presented the equipment on behalf of the three organizations to representatives from the Ministry, including Permanent Secretary – Mrs. Nerissa Gittens, Chief Medical Officer – Dr. Simone Keizer-Beache, Medical Officer – Dr. Roger Duncan and other valued partners.

The representatives from the Ministry of Health, Wellness, Environmental Health and Energy expressed immense gratitude for the continued partnership and support, noting that the donations and infrastructural upgrades will improve the quality and availability of healthcare services for Southern Grenadines residents.

Hurricane Beryl caused catastrophic damage across the Grenadines, including significant impacts on healthcare infrastructure. The combined contributions from the three charity arms of Mustique demonstrate a sustained commitment to rebuilding and enhancing resilience in affected communities.

Hands Across the Sea (HATS) 2025-2026 Handing Over Ceremony

Written by Leopard Websites on . Posted in Hands Across the Sea, Literacy, Project Update.

Mustique Charitable Foundation Supports Early Literacy Through Expanded Hands Across the Sea Partnership

February 12, 2026

The Mustique Charitable Foundation (MCF) is proud to continue its long-standing partnership with Hands Across the Sea (HATS) to strengthen literacy across St. Vincent and the Grenadines. For the school year 2025-2026, this collaboration expanded to include the Early Pages Programme, an initiative designed to introduce preschoolers to the joy of reading at the earliest stages of their learning journey.

Through this programme, 20 preschools across the country received age-appropriate, engaging books to spark curiosity and build foundational literacy skills. In addition, 14 primary and secondary schools received new books, learning kits, and library materials to support remediation, revitalise school libraries, and restore resources impacted by Hurricane Beryl. Overall, more than 5,000 brand-new books and learning materials were donated, benefiting approximately 2,600 students and educators.

This initiative builds on nearly two decades of collaboration between MCF and HATS, during which more than 145,000 books have been donated to schools throughout St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Together, MCF and HATS continue to invest in literacy as a cornerstone of education and community development.

Reflecting on the importance of these initiatives, MCF Project Director – Natalia Gill, though absent at the handover, sent a few words highlighting that this programme fully aligns with the Ministry’s early childhood curriculum, alongside continued investment in remedial reading, special needs support, and library rejuvenation, which reflects our shared commitment to equity, resilience, and opportunity in education.

By extending literacy support to early childhood centres, primary and secondary schools, and communities affected by devastating natural disasters, MCF and HATS are ensuring that students across the nation have the tools and inspiration they need to succeed. This partnership continues to evolve, guided by a shared vision to create brighter futures—one book at a time.
