St Vincent and the Grenadines to uplift together
About SIPA
SIPA is committed to securing land rights and uplifting indigenous communities in St. Vincent and the Grenadines through education, healthcare, and access to essential resources. We advocate for equity, preserve cultural heritage, and empower every generation to thrive with dignity and pride.
Upcoming Projects
Celebrate the living heritage of the Garifuna and Kalinago people at SIPA’s Cultural Exhibition: Showcasing Indigenous Roots. Last year’s event welcomed Garifuna guests from Honduras, Guatemala, and Belize, creating a powerful cross-border reunion of culture and kinship. This year promises even more storytelling, traditional performances, craft-making, and authentic cuisine as we honor our shared legacy and living traditions.
