As part of ongoing efforts to empower the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI), the Department of Social Development and Gender Affairs, Ministry of Environment and Home Affairs, is reviving the TCI Chapter of 100 Hundred Black Men.

Public meetings and other activities have been planned in Grand Turk and Providenciales (see schedule below) and the Department urges existing members and other interested individuals to attend the meetings and get involved in the activities.

The 100 Black Men Chapter was established in June 2006 to empower underprivileged males throughout the Turks and Caicos Islands. As with other Chapters, this organisation is built on four pillars, which are described as “Four for the Future Mentoring, Education, Health and Wellness and Economic Development”. This year the department of Gender Affairs has sought to revitalise the group one way to shape the social structure.

The Department recognises the value of the group’s social, economic and cultural challenges in light of the inadequacies of available support structures to advance and shape the social and economic growth and development of in particular the young men and boys of the TCI.

The TCI Chapter of 100 Hundred Black Men received its Charter in November 2006 and became an official member of the 100 Black Men Organisation of America.
