We believe everyone in Belize should have access to resources and basic facilities that promote learning, professional advancement and art.
The population of Belize is about 400,000 and is heavily dependent on tourism. Tragically, poverty is a major concern to Villagers who often need support not only in terms of resources for their family, but also for their community along with basic training and grants in launching a microbusiness.
However, this is only possible with the help of donors!
By setting up a US $1,000+ Yearly subscription you become an Annual Pillar Supporter (Learn More).
You can also explore our current Community Causes below. Hopefully, one or more of our causes will align with your passion to support communities in Belize.
Container Shipping Cause
Have you ever wanted to donate things (school supplies, computers, medical equipment, sports clothing, etc.) to your favorite Belizean non-profit (e.g. school, rotary club, village, etc.) but were overwhelmed by the shipping logistics and costs, handling customs, and delivering your donation? The Container Shipping Cause addresses those issues. We are able to provide a secure, easy, and cost-effective way to ship donated items to Belize.
We are currently working on three container shipments:
1) Fall 2024: 20,000 - 30,000 books, and medical supplies.
2) Winter 2025: 3,000 books, medical supplies, and 150+ computers.
3) Spring 2025: 200 bikes and related equipment.
For additional information, please email us at donations@believeinbelize.org.

Microbusiness Cause
Small business is integral to the success of any economy. It is through small business that innovators are able to create, and ideas are able to come to life. The traditional view of microlending is that small loans are given out to small businesses. This is because these businesses have limited access to capital and/or a traditional loan is just too financially out of reach. These loans are paid back over a certain time frame at a smaller interest rate. To learn a little bit more about microlending, please see https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/microfinance.asp. At Believe in Belize we would like to grow a traditional microlending service but also develop non-traditional alternatives. Our pilot sewing machines microlending project is an example so is our Corn microbusiness.
