One of the most common misconceptions is that education is completely free in Belize. There are private and public schools (free tuition). However, there are numerous other expenses, e.g. uniforms, books, supplies, lunch meals, transportation. Students that cannot afford these expenses often end up not going to school. These issues are magnified for high school and beyond.
Believe in Belize's approach to addressing this issue is through partnering with local nonprofits dedicated to providing scholarships, need or merit based. Currently, we are working with the Rotary Club of Corozal. Updates and links are at the bottom of this page.
Believe in Belize brings awareness and raises international donations to support their work. We also provide management oversight to ensure the funds are used as intended with transparency to the stakeholders.
On average about 50 kids / year receive some sort of financial aid, but we need to drastically increase this number. Our goal is to distribute through our partners a minimum of US $100 scholarship per student.
However, this is only possible with the help of donors!
By setting up a US$100+ Yearly subscription you will be listed as an Annual Cause Supporter on the page of your chosen Cause. If you do not wish to be listed, please email us at donations@believeinbelize.org.
Incredible things happen when we all come together!
There’s no such thing as too small of a give.
