Women and families, who would be impacted by an explosive eruption of La Soufriere, will have access to 400 dignity kits that have been donated by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
The United Nations Population Fund Sub-Regional Office for the Caribbean has recently come to the assistance of the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines through the pre-positioning and supply of dignity kits to the Gender Affairs Division and the Family Planning Unit within the Ministry of National Mobilisation, Social Development, Family, Gender Affairs, Youth, Housing and Informal Human Settlements and the Ministry of Health, Wellness and the Environment.
The Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA), the National Emergency Management Organization of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (NEMO) and the National Office of Disaster Services (NODS) in Antigua and Barbuda facilitated transportation of the dignity kits.
