How we started Don’t Stop Belizein
Meeting the immediate need to provide education, food security, healthcare and in-kind goods on the grass root level is essential to building a stronger Belize. Don’t Stop Belizein - Stronger Together Belize started over 20 years ago by founder Desire Bernard and her family of volunteers both in the United States and in Belize to meet these basic needs in under resourced communities. Establishing the founders’ mission as a 501(c)(3) allowed for the expansion of their efforts and their mission continues to grow! Contact Don’t Stop Belizein to get involved today.
“My commitment to helping my community at home is my way of celebrating my roots and my culture. When I left Belize to come to the US, I remember my cousin telling me “Never forget where you come from. Never forget Belize.” I’ve never forgotten, and that’s one of the driving forces of Don’t Stop Belizein. Belize is always in my heart.”
