About US

Founded in 2016, We Are Mayreau Inc. (WAM) is an all-woman grassroot initiative. Our mission is to improve access and participation for residents of our small island community in the areas of education, entrepreneurship, food and water security, and environmental stewardship. We are a registered nonprofit organisation in St. Vincent and the Grenadines with projects and programs backed and supported by reputable local, regional and international partners. 


WAM has a keen focus on women and youth empowerment, and the development of sustainable initiatives that prioritise environmental care while promoting socio-economic resilience. 

Here is a list of the enterprises and initiatives developed under WAM thus far:

  1. Reef Life Inc: the Mayreau Coral Reef Restoration Program
  2. FarmHub: Mayreau female farmers support hub
  3. HER: entrepreneurship program for female business owners
  4. WAM Scholarships: to support technical and academic studies.


As an organisation we recognise that our efforts will not be realized without our community. As such, a key cornerstone of our movement is collaborative community engagement. Through our dedicated efforts, we seek to build a resilient and sustainable future for our island's residents and the vibrant ecosystems surrounding us.

Our challenges

Our island's history is one of geographic exclusion and restricted access to opportunities for personal and communal development. As a consequence, we are witnessing the advent of a people increasingly focused on survival at the expense of leading healthy and happy lives. 


We Are Mayreau, Inc. (WAM) aims to promote the positive aspects of our island: both our people and environment. We seek to develop healthy means for our community to motivate each other toward self-sufficiency, sustainability, holistic wellbeing, and happiness. Our name is intended to convey a sense of inclusion, shared ownership, and belonging. 


Our tagline "Better Together" is critical to fulfilling our mission. We believe that by working together, we have the power to transform our community into a model for social change characterized by:

  • Strong families
  • Sustainable culture and livelihoods
  • Responsible stewardship of the environment
  • Responsible citizenry


We take a holistic approach to defining success that takes into account our responsibility for our mental, physical and spiritual health, as well as our care for each other and our environment.


We seek to provide sustainable solutions to issues of:

  • Vulnerable family structures
  • Cultural degradation
  • Climate change and its associated threat
  • Food and water insecurity 
  • Increasing secondary school drop-outs rates
  • Youth and female unemployment
  • Environmental degradation
  • Threats to our fragile tourism and fishing industries
  • Absence of strong corporate social responsibility policies and practices within our business community


"The strongest people are those supported by a loving family" 


Mayreau is more than a community of people, we are "famalay" in every essence of the word.  Our bonds are characterized by love, care and generosity. Our goal as an organization is to strengthen those bonds and support families through education and training opportunities, socio cultural and economic resilience, climate justice, natural ecosystem protection and restoration and creating a circular system where water, food, energy, waste, infrastructure and the environment support each other.
