In addition to closing institutional gaps within the community, a multipurpose facility will be constructed which will also serve as an emergency shelter for safety and security of indigenous people in time of adverse events.

Minister for Kalinago Upliftment Cozier Frederick says this project will not only grant access to a safe emergency facility but also provide employment for the residents in the area.
