The goal of CIMI Barbados is to have a Central Location of CIMI in the Caribbean Islands. The Island of Barbados will serve as a pilot program. This will allow us to be able to measure the efficacy of the program and serve other caribbean islands in the process. Our main focus will be to provide outreach, counseling and workshops around the areas of STD's & HIV/AIDS. Due to the increase of HIV/AIDS on the island we will seek to empower the communities at large to combat this epidemic.

We are also seeking to implement academic and athletic programs to assist local schools in accomplishing their goals of producing top students who can earn scholarships to further they education.

	In 2007 CIMI Founder, Berch Harris presents an award to one of the top five students at the St. Leonards Boys High School in Barbados.
