The Soufriere Foundation has made the Les Etangs -Fond Gens Libre Road more traversable for residents, commuters and vehicles frequenting the route. The road, which is the main thoroughfare to the Fond Gens Libre community, is used by tour operators to gain access to the Gros Piton Nature Trail on a daily basis and had been in a poor condition for an extended period of time. The road repairs were facilitated through a self help initiative and saw the construction of four road railings, potholing and the erection of safety signs. The resources for the project were made available by the Soufriere Foundation with the labour force comprising of employees of the organization and residents of the surrounding communities. District representatives for both Soufriere and Choiseul also made up part of the work force contingent in a show of support for the initiative.
