Welcome and thank you for visiting our website
Our Mission
To build a bright future for the children of St Lucia.
About Us
Why are we called stlucia1979.com? - Simply because this site is about St Lucia and the island became independent in 1979.
Stlucia1979.com has been formed as a way for a group of people to give something back to society and St Lucia. Established in 2006 it is our intention to create a charitable foundation which sponsors children in St Lucia, so that they may have a bright and successful future. Sponsorship will be both financial and through mentoring.
Our first phase in establishing this foundation was to create this website. We hope the information contained on this site gives you a great insight into our beautiful island of St Lucia - its history, its people and its culture.
Phase two is to form associations with organisations in St Lucia (e.g. schools, universities etc..), to help provide a formal structure for us to give sponsorship to children.
Phase three will be to provide you with the opportunity to sponsor a child in St Lucia, using the formal and professional structure we have created.
We welcome your comments, advice or assistance in helping us to achieve our objective.
