In 2022, we resumed our Annual Fundraiser, the Caribbean Culture, Cuisine and Art Expo (CCCAE) in a virtual format after a 2-year hiatus due to COVID. This allowed us to reach a much broader audience.

DAHEI hosted a successful virtual event – For the first time, attendees were able to participate from around the world, including the Caribbean, USA, Canada, UK and Spain. We had an amazing line-up of speakers and exhibitors. Thanks to the generous contributions of our donors, funds raised will support Diabetes care in Dominica, in particular, wound care to help reduce the rate of amputations.

We look forward to expanding even more in 2023. Registration is now open for the 2023 Caribbean Culture Cuisine and Art Expo.

2023 Expo Theme: TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH

This year, we will focus on expanding our quest for a healthier Caribbean, educating and empowering persons to “Take Control of their Health” – be an active part of the conversation about their healthcare.
