BASSETERRE — The Joy Project, a local non-profit organization dedicated to empowering vulnerable members of society, has received a generous donation from the Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan), the organization announced Thursday.
The donation was presented by Mrs. Madeleine Liao on behalf of Ambassador Edward Ling-Wen Tao, reflecting the Embassy’s continued commitment to supporting charitable organizations and community development initiatives throughout the Federation.
“Taiwan has long been a generous and valued partner to St. Kitts and Nevis, consistently supporting initiatives that strengthen our communities and improve the lives of our people,” The Joy Project said in a statement. “We are deeply appreciative that this same spirit of partnership and generosity has also been extended to The Joy Project.”
The contribution will directly support The Joy Project’s programs and initiatives for women, children and the elderly, helping the organization expand its reach and deepen its impact across St. Kitts and Nevis, according to the statement.
“We extend our sincere appreciation to the Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan) for its generosity, partnership, and confidence in our mission,” the organization said.
The Joy Project was founded by Diani Jimesha Prince-Drew, wife of Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew, with a mission to empower, uplift and create lasting opportunities for vulnerable members of society. The organization has previously partnered with local institutions, including hospital visits to support new and expectant mothers, as part of its broader effort to serve women, children and the elderly across the Federation.
