About Garden of Rebirth

The Garden of Rebirth is located in St. Kitts and Nevis. In 2015, the Garden of Rebirth was registered as a non-governmental organization (NGO) and founded by Mrs. Etsu Bradshaw-Caines who realized the need for this type of center to serve as a tool and resource for the community. With the help of grants, Mrs. Bradshaw-Caines transformed her grandmother’s home into a place of refuge for women and children subjected to circumstances that are unsafe.

In 2018, the Garden of Rebirth earned its 501(c)(3) status in the United States of America.
