OECS raises 4.9 M in-kind and cash support for St. Vincent and the Grenadines

Stronger Together Campaign Delivers $355,536.78 in Cash

The Organisation of the Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission is honoured to fulfill its commitment to providing relief and recovery resources to St. Vincent and the Grenadines following the devastation and displacement caused by the eruptions of the La Soufriere Volcano in April of 2021.
