UWI-ROYTEC takes an active role in engaging the national community and has collaborated with corporate entities in contributing to community development.

Some of our efforts over the years include:

UWI-ROYTEC Sends Relief Supplies to Those Affected by the Eruption of La Soufriere

UWI-ROYTEC sends relief supplies to those affected by the eruption of La Soufriere

UWI-ROYTEC stands in solidarity with its CARICOM brothers and sisters, in assisting those displaced by the explosive eruption of the La Soufriere volcano on Thursday 8th April, 2021.

In keeping with its firm commitment to supporting and enriching the lives of its communities across the Caribbean, the institution has sent much needed relief supplies to the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG).

Credo: Sophia House

Sophia House serves as an empowerment centre and safe haven for young at risk girls residing in Trinidad. This institution, which is located at 2-4 Park Street, Port of Spain, currently houses girls under the age of 18 years, who have been assigned to the home from either the Trinidad and Tobago Courts or the Children's Authority of Trinidad and Tobago. The Foundation aims to provide economic alternatives to life on the streets, with programmes designed to facilitate education, training and all round development. The long term goal is to facilitate rehabilitation and family reintegration where possible.

UWI-ROYTEC & its Alumni Association (URAA) undertook its first civic project with Sophia House in 2016, where alumni members volunteered their time and provided institutional resources to the Foundation. This relationship continues to grow and expand.

Kwame Ture Education and Development Centre

UWI-ROYTEC has lent its support to the work of The Kwame Ture Education & Development Centre, situated in East Port of Spain, Laventille. Named after world renowned Pan Africanist from East Port of Spain; Kwame Ture, the Centre focusses on educating the community on self-improvement as the basis for community development through education, entrepreneurship, arts, culture, youth development and agriculture. Both institutions share a similar vision for developing the human resource capital of the communities we serve through access to education.

We Say Y.E.S Organization

International Coastal Clean-up 2018

UWI-ROYTEC joined the Ministry of Planning and Development and the rest of the world, as students and staff mobilized to participate in clean-up activities along the foreshore coastline. This is one of the events that the institution uses to build networks of environmentally-conscious individuals who seek to bring about positive changes in the UWI-ROYTEC communities.
