GER3 is excited to announce a new project that continues our work helping St. Vincent recover from the volcanic eruption last April: the Lewis Punnett Retrofit Project. Funded by the Government of Japan and USAID - via the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) - the IOM-administered initiative will retrofit an abandoned building to serve as an emergency shelter and geriatric facility for displaced persons in the Red Zone of the island. Working with the Government of St. Vincent, IOM, and other stakeholders, GER3 will manage the retrofitting of the facility along with capacity building and community engagement activities.

The video below (from St. Vincent’s Agency for Public Information) provides additional information on the project and our partners.
