Building A Sustainable Future Together
Discover The Richmond Vale Academy Global Impact
St Vincent and the Grenadines
is among the countries most affected by global climate change. Located in the Caribbean, this small island nation suffers the devastating effects of an active volcano, hurricanes, and other natural disasters.
Because of this, many people live in rural and impoverished areas. Due to an aging farming population, the country relies on international trade to make up 35% of the national food supply. The country is also dependent on imported fossil fuels for electricity generation, transportation, and cooking.
Since opening our doors in 2007, Richmond Vale Academy has made it our mission to help local communities by building a more sustainable future for St Vincent and the Grenadines.
