Castries, March 25, 2025 – St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) was honoured to host the annual “Our Boys Matter” (OBM) Retreat at its Cul-de-Sac power station. The retreat welcomed young males enrolled in the Saint Lucia Social Development Fund (SSDF) OBM programme, marking their first visit to the power station and the first time LUCELEC hosted the annual retreat for fifth formers and tertiary level members of the programme. 

Castries, March 12, 2020 – He was told not to return to the Centre for Adolescent Renewal and Education (CARE) where he had been attending school. Always angry, he was defiant and openly disrespectful. Those choices almost got him kicked out of the “Our Boys Matter” programme. But then, one more chance was offered through an apprenticeship at a garage. It capitalized on his interest in auto mechanics. The intervention recipe was completed with a mentor he chose; one committed to his success. Today, he’s been offered a job at the garage.
