For over 290 years, the Moravian Church Eastern West Indies Province has been a pillar of faith and education throughout the Caribbean.
With active congregations and schools in Trinidad, Tobago, Barbados, Antigua, St. Kitts, Tortola, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Church continues its mission to nurture holistic development — spiritually, academically, and socially.
The Moravian Church Eastern West Indies Province proudly presents Project Eiréné, an initiative designed to help youth manage their anger in a constructive way. Based on Neilson Waithe’s book “Anger Management”, this program aims to train mentors who will work with schools and community groups to guide our youth towards peace.
“Eiréné,” the Greek word for “Peace,” embodies our vision of reducing crime and violence, one child at a time. By partnering with schools, government, community groups, and faith-based institutions, we strive to heal our land and create a brighter future for all.
