C.A.R.E. was created to revolutionize and transform our nation through community-specific projects in ways that epitomize our natural caring and hospitable nature as Kittitians and Nevisians.

It is managed by a competent board of experts called the CARE Board of Councillors, which consists of 15 professionals from various fields which include Dr Terrance Drew – Founder, Ms Nerys Dockery - President, Mr Anthony Johnson – Secretary, Jonathan Bass – Treasurer, Dr Christine Walwyn, Dominique Stevens, Loretta Evelyn, Lanine Blanchette, Mary Clarke, Shana Herbert, and Kelvina Salters.

Dr Drew highlighted that the C.A.R.E. Foundation is already fully operational established contacts across the globe, locally, regionally, and internationally who believe in the vision of the foundation and has pledged their support.

The C.A.R.E. Foundation, in collaboration with partners in St. Eustatius, has already donated 11 pallets of bottled water to residents in St. Vincent and the Grenadines to assist with the current crisis.

The next project that is projected to roll out in the next 3 months, according to Dr Drew, will seek to assist Cuban students who are currently struggling financially due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr Drew stated that a number of other projects are already in the pipeline, including collaborations with a highly skilled team of specialists from Germany to form a sickle-cell clinic to be established in St. Kitts and Nevis that will serve the entire O.E.C.S.

The aim is to cure persons, especially those of African descent, who suffers from sickle cell disease within our region. Dr Drew stated that the sickle cell cure is available, and he wants to be able to offer that gift to our children here in the O.E.C.S.

The C.A.R.E. Foundation will be revolutionizing the act of caring within the Federation. The foundation operates under the theme “We are stronger when we care.”
