The History of Cyril Ross Nursery
The Cyril Ross Nursery was named after Fr. Cyril Ross, who was a Catholic Priest assigned to the St. Charles parish in Tunapuna.
The Nursery is one of seventeen institutions of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, and it is the only one for children. Initially it was used as a Day Nursery to accommodate children of working single parents. When the service was no longer needed the location was temporally used to house senior citizens from the Arima home, also operated by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
In the year 1992 a decision was taken to utilize the building as home for HIV + children who were abandoned at the Port of Spain General Hospital. When the home started three (3) children (all of whom are still alive) were brought from the hospital, and over the years our numbers have grown to forty.
The Nursery is the only one if it kind operating in the country that addresses the need of children living with HIV and AIDS both as residents and out-patients.
Most of the children were placed here by Social Workers from the Port of Spain, San Fernando, Mt. Hope and Scarborough Hospitals.
During the first eight years seventeen children died, however with the granting of free medication by the Government in 2002, we have had not deaths.
