About this programme
Environmental initiatives in 2025 supported biodiversity awareness and conservation through targeted community-based initiatives, educational programmes and sustainable agriculture projects.
Investments included the expansion of the National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities’ aquaponics project, the Kitchen Garden Project at The St. Lucia TVET Institute: Stanley Jon Odlum School of Arts, Media, and Design, and Sustainable Snack Initiatives at Ciceron and Clendon Mason Memorial Secondary Schools.
These activities supported education of food security, sustainable agriculture, climate adaptation, and the adoption of a greener lifestyle.
