Adopt A Unit Programme

Due to wear and tear, natural ageing and deferred maintenance over the years, many of the units are in urgent need of upgrade and refurbishment.

While SI Barbados has been maintaining the compound over the years using funds from our various fundraisers, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our main fundraisers, making keeping up with repairs and maintenance quite challenging.

Two of our units urgently need to be brought back into use as well as carry out upgrades and maintenance to other residences. In particular, the original five units which were completed in 1978, are in dire need of upgrading.

Units 12 & 13:

The structural disrepair started with Unit 12, which shares a common wall with Unit 13. As a result, the years have rendered these two units uninhabitable. Both units require extensive structural repairs to return them to active use.

The structural repairs identified are costly and fundraising has not adequately provided SI Barbados with the funds to effect the repairs.

Once repairs are completed, these units will enter the pool of units requiring Annual Maintenance only.
