Women of Belize face a variety of educational and vocational challenges. We empower women to help themselves by offering a safe environment for learning new skills, fellowship and support.

We offer a range of programs to support our community including, food assistance, job training, and health care services.  Our programs are designed meet the unique needs of each individual and family.

Even with government healthcare, basic nutrition and inadequate water sanitation remains a concern. We have helped countless individuals overcome financial, medical and social challenges.

We offer mentoring, life skills training, tutoring, summer camps, and other activities to area youth as alternatives to negative influences existing in our community illiteracy, crime, drugs, and HIV/AIDS.

We are strengthened by the   work of dedicated volunteers.  Our community Linking program offers groups of six or more volunteers the opportunity to complete a project that will benefit the community.

 Financially strained schools impact literacy.  We offer scholorships and courses in ESL,  computers, English, and other programs to help counter the substantial cost of registration fees, books and supplies.

Raising awareness of the HIV/AIDS epidemic is a priority.  We use community outreach and partnerships with local and national programs to educate about prevention and disease management,

The climate change and disaster risk management program offers a list of services to prepare for natural and man-made disasters including training, field assessments, as well as risk mitigation practices.

Villages in the vicinity of San Ignacio do not have the luxury of clean drinking water from the tap.  We provide water filters to schools and households that remove harmful bacteria, protozoa and viruses.
