An Ongoing Problem
Meet Roberto and Sarah! Roberto is a bright youth who has not been able to accomplish his dream of continuing his higher education in Business Management because his household resources are limited and he has struggled to secure a well-paid job.
In a similar situation, Sarah, as one of the many young women (twice the amount of young men) has also not been able to pursue higher education. Sarah has a great business idea she has started to pursue informally but lacks the resources and know-how to make it a reality.
Both Roberto and Sarah are just two examples of many young people that are facing unemployment. This situation often causes anxiety and desperation, leaving the ones facing them sometimes with a low self esteem. Every year, hundreds of young individuals graduate from Belize’s education system unable to pursue higher education or secure well-paid employment.

A famous proverb says….
“You give a poor man a fish and you feed him for a day. You teach him to fish and you give him an occupation that will feed him for a lifetime.”
Our primary motivation is to see youths attain their potential and excel.
We are interested in teaching them “to fish” and at the same time, provide them with the necessary tools and the appropriate direction for them to succeed.
