Water Security: St. Kitts Water Services is pressing ahead with a second well in Saddlers, after the first well proved highly successful and is expected to supply close to 500,000 gallons for nearby communities. Drilling on the second site (between St. Paul’s and Newtown Ground) has reached about 280 feet, with the team aiming to finish the site in about three more weeks and complete the well by end of September, after hydrogeological surveys using drone technology helped pick the best locations. Maritime Resilience: The SKNDF has received three SOFAR Spotter marine-monitoring buoys via a CIMH-led regional initiative, boosting near-real-time monitoring of wave conditions, atmospheric pressure, and sea-surface temperatures—supporting hurricane-season early warning, emergency response, fisheries, research, and coastal planning (two buoys for St. Kitts, one for Nevis). Geothermal Progress: Nevis geothermal drilling is moving toward the start of operations as the Drillmec HH-300 “Týr” rig clears final independent acceptance inspection in Iceland, clearing the way for shipment and drilling to begin within about 60 days. Education & Skills: The Curriculum Development Unit ran workshops to strengthen teacher delivery of the OECS Harmonised Primary Curriculum pilot, prepare for Grade 3 Enhanced Mathematics rollout, introduce French teachers to CEFR, and expand environmental education via PADF Eco-Youth Ventures. Policy & Tech Governance: Nevis representatives joined a Commonwealth Parliamentary Association conference in Jamaica on “Strengthening Parliaments in the Digital Age,” with a youth parliament session focused on AI.
