Newsletter 2025 Issue 1
 
Welcome to our 2025-1 newsletter (link to previous issues).  We are delighted you decided to read it and welcome your feedback on how we can improve it.
 
The end of 2024 marked seven years since the launch of Believe in Belize on January 1st, 2018.  Since that day we operated as an all-volunteer nonprofit organization with one core value – we focused on little actions that created large impacts for Belizeans and their communities. To our donors, volunteers, and partners, who believed in us when we first started and those who joined us along the way, “Thank You!” for helping us complete over 30 projects and services.
 
The list below summarizes our 2024 Accomplishments
 
Shipping Container with 20,000+ books, Sports Clothing - 800 jerseys, 400 shorts and 400 socks, 60 boxes of medical supplies, 7 boxes of misc. material.
 
 
Helped launch a Corn Microbusiness.
