Initiatives
Education
Our education programs in Belize focus on supporting students beyond the classroom through our vibrant after-school program in Belize City. Open to all public school students, this program offers tutoring, mentorship, and daily meals, ensuring children receive the academic and emotional support they need to thrive. Students also have the opportunity to explore other interests through activities such as dance, band, and summer camps, creating a safe space where they can learn, grow, and dream for the future.
We also operate a preschool that provides young children with a strong foundation for learning in a safe and nurturing environment, helping them develop the skills and confidence necessary for lifelong success.
Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is another key pillar of our work. Our Family Business Program empowers families to achieve financial independence by equipping them with the tools and training to launch and sustain their own businesses. To date, we have empowered 121 families in the Belize City area of Belize. By investing in both economic and personal development, we are helping build a stronger, self-sufficient community for generations to come.
Restorative Community Care
Our Community Care initiatives ensure families have access to essential resources. Our daily feeding program provides sustainable, healthy food access to many vulnerable children in the community. Our community center also acts as a hub for members of the community, providing resources and support to many families in need. This includes a women’s mentorship and discipleship program, weekly church services, after-school support for students, retreats and camp outings for children and teens, and much more.
