PDVCAB Celebrates 20 Years of National Impact
PDV Caribe Antigua and Barbuda (PDVCAB) is celebrating its 20th anniversary this week, marking two decades of social investment and community development.
The milestone was launched with a gala dinner and appreciation ceremony at Casa Palmadita on Saturday evening, attended by Governor General Sir Rodney Williams, Minister of Utilities Melford Nicholas, and others.
On Sunday, PDVCAB staff and management joined the congregation at Ebenezer Methodist Church, where Rev. Dr. Cuthbert Edwards delivered a sermon on grace. General Manager Jellette Ralph offered reflections on the organization’s journey, while Projects Officer Kishma Tonge took part in the readings.
The celebrations continue throughout the week, including media appearances, a visit to the Soup Kitchen on Tuesday, Customer Appreciation Day on Wednesday, and an outreach trip to Barbuda on Friday.
Over the years, PDVCAB has become best known for its utility subsidy programme, which provides monthly relief to more than 5,000 residents. But its impact has gone far beyond. Since its establishment in 2005, the entity has funded major national projects from the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium and Codrington Airport upgrades to youth training initiatives, hurricane relief, and the installation of streetlights and water systems.
As PDVCAB turns 20, its leadership says the anniversary is not only a moment to celebrate past achievements but also to recommit to serving the people of Antigua and Barbuda in the years ahead.
