Every child deserves the opportunity to learn in a safe, nurturing environment where their unique abilities can bloom in spite of their race, ethnicity, class, or geography.
We are an education advancement non-profit organization based in Miami, Florida in the United States of America. Our mission is to empower the next generation of Caribbean leaders by addressing critical educational needs. We work with local governments and industries in countries throughout the Caribbean to bridge the educational gap where it is most needed. It's important to us that the local businesses be a part of the planned improvement process as much as possible so they can both benefit economically and maintain their autonomy in their community.
We partner with local schools and governments to develop and fund academic enrichment programs, complete school repairs and maintenance, and provide teachers and students with resources and materials.
