Since then, the young association has blossomed into a registered 501(c)3 non-profit aimed at the support, enrichment and social welfare of Kittitians and Nevisians in the Federation and the Greater Houston, TX area. SKNAH promotes education, volunteerism, community and culture. To learn more about SKNAH visit our website SKNAH.org, find us on Facebook or email us at sknahouston@gmail.com.
