NATIONAL SECRETARIAT FOR HUMAN SECURITY AND WELLBEING

The National Secretariat for Human Security and Wellbeing has continued its community

outreach with a recent meeting in Nevis, strengthening partnerships with faith-based leaders

across the Federation.

On Saturday, 25th April, 2026, Coordinator of the Secretariat, Ms. Eartha Carey, participated in a

meeting of Wesleyan Holiness Church pastors on the sister island. The session brought together

eighteen pastors from St. Kitts and Nevis as part of their regular biannual gathering.

Ms. Carey attended at the invitation of Reverend Ron Daniel, District Superintendent of the

Wesleyan Holiness Church.

The session provided an opportunity to share information on the work of the Secretariat and

explore areas of collaboration with the church community, recognising the important role

faith-based organisations play in supporting families, guiding young people, and strengthening

communities.

Discussions also reinforced the importance of partnership in advancing a national approach to

safety and wellbeing.

This meeting forms part of ongoing efforts to deepen the Secretariat’s all-of-society approach,

which emphasises the role of communities, institutions, and individuals in contributing to

sustained reductions in crime and violence.

Following the session, the Secretariat received invitations to engage further with community

groups and students on Nevis, reflecting growing interest in its work at the community level.

Officials have emphasised that the initiative remains national in scope, with Nevis continuing to

play a central role in programme delivery and outreach.

Public engagements will continue on St. Kitts, with the next session scheduled for today,

Wednesday, 29th April, 2026, at 5:30pm at the Moravian Church in Cayon. A similar

engagement is planned for Wednesday, 6th May, 2026, at 5:30pm at the National Solid Waste

Management Authority Conference Room.

Through continued dialogue and collaboration, the National Secretariat for Human Security and

Wellbeing remains committed to building a coordinated, community-driven approach to safety

and crime reduction across St. Kitts and Nevis.
